* Add key_compare member to ordered_map
* Replace == with key_compare in ordered_map
* Expose the actual comparison function used by object_t
nlohmann::ordered_map uses a different comparison function than the one
provided via template parameter.
* Introduce a type trait to detect if object_t has a key_compare member.
* Rename object_comparator_t to default_object_comparator_t.
* Add object_comparator_t to be conditionally defined as
object_t::key_compare, if available, or default_object_comparator_t
otherwise.
* Update the documentation accordingly.

* Add type traits to check if a type is usable as object key
Add type trait to check:
* if a type is a specialization of a template.
* if a type is a json_pointer.
* if a type is a basic_json::{const_,}iterator.
* if two types are comparable using a given comparison functor.
* if a type is comparable to basic_json::object_t::key_type.
* if a type has a member type is_transparent.
* if a type is usable as object key.
* if a type has an erase() function accepting a given KeyType.

* Rework basic_json element access to accept more key types
Rework basic_json element access member functions and operators to
accept any type that meets the requirements defined by type trait
detail::is_usable_as_key_type.
Member functions and operators:
* at()
* operator[]
* value()
* erase()
* find()
* count()
* contains()
Update documentation to reflect these changes.
Add unit tests to excercise the new functions using std::string_view.

// (1)

reference at(size_type idx);
|
|
const_reference at(size_type idx) const;
|
|
|
|
// (2)

|
1. Returns a reference to the array element at specified location `idx`, with bounds checking.
|
|
2. Returns a reference to the object element with specified key `key`, with bounds checking.
|
|
3. See 2. This overload is only available if `KeyType` is comparable with `#!cpp typename object_t::key_type` and
|
|
`#!cpp typename object_comparator_t::is_transparent` denotes a type.
|
|
4. Returns a reference to the element at specified JSON pointer `ptr`, with bounds checking.
|
|
|
|
## Template parameters
|
|
|
|
`KeyType`
|
|
: A type for an object key other than [`json_pointer`](../json_pointer/index.md) that is comparable with
|
|
[`string_t`](string_t.md) using [`object_comparator_t`](object_comparator_t.md).
|
|
This can also be a string view (C++17).
|
|
|
|
## Parameters
|
|
|
|
`idx` (in)
|
|
: index of the element to access
|
|
|
|
`key` (in)
|
|
: object key of the elements to access
|
|
|
|
`ptr` (in)
|
|
: JSON pointer to the desired element
|
|
|
|
## Return value
|
|
|
|
1. reference to the element at index `idx`
|
|
2. reference to the element at key `key`
|
|
3. reference to the element at key `key`
|
|
4. reference to the element pointed to by `ptr`
|
|
|
|
## Exception safety
|
|
|
|
Strong exception safety: if an exception occurs, the original value stays intact.
|
|
|
|
## Exceptions
|
|
|
|
1. The function can throw the following exceptions:
|
|
- Throws [`type_error.304`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error304) if the JSON value is not an array;
|
|
in this case, calling `at` with an index makes no sense. See example below.
|
|
- Throws [`out_of_range.401`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range401) if the index `idx` is out of
|
|
range of the array; that is, `idx >= size()`. See example below.
|
|
2. The function can throw the following exceptions:
|
|
- Throws [`type_error.304`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error304) if the JSON value is not an object;
|
|
in this case, calling `at` with a key makes no sense. See example below.
|
|
- Throws [`out_of_range.403`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range403) if the key `key` is not
|
|
stored in the object; that is, `find(key) == end()`. See example below.
|
|
3. See 2.
|
|
4. The function can throw the following exceptions:
|
|
- Throws [`parse_error.106`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error106) if an array index in the passed
|
|
JSON pointer `ptr` begins with '0'. See example below.
|
|
- Throws [`parse_error.109`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error109) if an array index in the passed
|
|
JSON pointer `ptr` is not a number. See example below.
|
|
- Throws [`out_of_range.401`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range401) if an array index in the passed
|
|
JSON pointer `ptr` is out of range. See example below.
|
|
- Throws [`out_of_range.402`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range402) if the array index '-' is used
|
|
in the passed JSON pointer `ptr`. As `at` provides checked access (and no elements are implicitly inserted), the
|
|
index '-' is always invalid. See example below.
|
|
- Throws [`out_of_range.403`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range403) if the JSON pointer describes a
|
|
key of an object which cannot be found. See example below.
|
|
- Throws [`out_of_range.404`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range404) if the JSON pointer `ptr` can
|
|
not be resolved. See example below.
|
|
|
|
## Complexity
|
|
|
|
1. Constant.
|
|
2. Logarithmic in the size of the container.
|
|
3. Logarithmic in the size of the container.
|
|
4. Logarithmic in the size of the container.
