Niels Lohmann ec120e78c8 Document editable json_documents
- API pages for set and push_back of basic_json_document and for the
  editable aliases; the class overviews name the Editable parameter
- type_error.319 on the exceptions page
- the feature page explains editing, and the examples show when it
  helps: a configuration file changed without reformatting it

nlohmann::json_editable_view

Defined in header <nlohmann/json_view.hpp>

using json_editable_view = basic_json_view<json, true>;

This type is a basic_json_view of a value of a json_editable_document. It offers the same read-only interface as json_view; what is different is what it can be a view of -- a value that set and push_back can change, with every view still referring to it seeing the change, see Edits.

Examples

??? example

The example below is the same as [`json_editable_document`'s](json_editable_document.md): every view read back
out of the document -- `#!cpp doc.root()` and the views nested under it -- sees the edits made through `set`.

```cpp
--8<-- "examples/json_editable_document.cpp"
```

Output:

```json
--8<-- "examples/json_editable_document.output"
```
