Besides, a few bugs have been fixed. All changes are backward-compatible. 349 350### :sparkles: New Features 351 352- The library can read and write a subset of **[BSON](http://bsonspec.org/) (Binary JSON)**. All data types known from JSON are supported, whereas other types more tied to MongoDB such as timestamps, object ids, or binary data are currently not implemented. See [the README](https://github.com/nlohmann/json#binary-formats-bson-cbor-messagepack-and-ubjson) for examples. #1244 #1320 353- The behavior when the library encounters an invalid Unicode sequence during serialization can now be controlled by defining one of three **Unicode error handlers**: (1) throw an exception (default behavior), (2) replace invalid sequences by the Unicode replacement character (U+FFFD), or (3) ignore/filter invalid sequences. See the [documentation of the `dump` function](https://nlohmann.github.io/json/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_a50ec80b02d0f3f51130d4abb5d1cfdc5.html#a50ec80b02d0f3f51130d4abb5d1cfdc5) for examples. #1198 #1314 354- To easily specify a user-defined **enum/JSON mapping**, a macro `NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM` has been introduced. See the [README section](https://github.com/nlohmann/json#specializing-enum-conversion) for more information. #1208 #1323 355 356### :bug: Bug Fixes 357 358- fixed truncation #1286 #1315 359- fixed an issue with std::pair #1299 #1301 360- fixed an issue with std::variant #1292 #1294 361- fixed a bug in the JSON Pointer parser 362 363### :zap: Improvements 364 365- The **diagnosis messages for parse errors** have been improved: error messages now indicated line/column positions where possible (in addition to a byte count) and also the context in which the error occurred (e.g., "while parsing a JSON string"). Example: error `parse error at 2: syntax error - invalid string: control character must be escaped; last read: '<U+0009>'` is now reported as `parse error at line 1, column 2: syntax error while parsing value - invalid string: control character U+0009 (HT) must be escaped to \u0009 or \t; last read: '<U+0009>'`. #1280 #1288 #1303 366 367### :hammer: Further Changes 368 369- improved Meson documentation #1305 370- fixed some more linter warnings #1280 371- fixed Clang detection for third-party Google Benchmark library #1277 372 373### :fire: Deprecated functions 374 375This release does not deprecate any functions.

The destination type is automatically derived which allows more succinct code compared to the `get` function. #1227 #1231 402 403### :bug: Bug Fixes 404 405- Fixed a bug in the CMake file that made `target_link_libraries` to not properly include `nlohmann_json`. #1243 #1245 #1260 406- Fixed a warning in MSVC 2017 complaining about a constexpr if. #1204 #1268 #1272 407- Fixed a bug that prevented compilation with ICPC. #755 #1222 408- Improved the SFINAE correctness to fix a bug in the conversion operator. #1237 #1238 409- Fixed a `-Wctor-dtor-privacy` warning. #1224 410- Fixed a warning on a lambda in unevaluated context. #1225 #1230 411- Fixed a bug introduced in version 3.2.0 where defining `JSON_CATCH_USER` led to duplicate macro definition of `JSON_INTERNAL_CATCH`. #1213 #1214 412- Fixed a bug that prevented compilation with Clang 3.4.2 in RHEL 7. #1179 #1249 413 414### :zap: Improvements 415 416- Added [documentation on CMake integration](https://github.com/nlohmann/json#cmake) of the library. #1270 417- Changed the CMake file to use `find_package(nlohmann_json)` without installing the library. #1202 418- Improved error messages in case `operator[]` is used with the wrong combination (json.exception.type_error.305) of JSON container type and argument type. Example: "cannot use operator[] with a string argument". #1220 #1221 419- Added a license and version information to the Meson build file. #1252 420- Removed static assertions to indicated missing `to_json` or `from_json` functions as such assertions do not play well with SFINAE. These assertions also led to problems with GMock. #960 #1212 #1228 421- The test suite now does not wait forever if run in a wrong directory and input files are not found. #1262 422- The test suite does not show deprecation warnings for deprecated functions which frequently led to confusion. #1271 423 424### :hammer: Further Changes 425 426- GCC 4.8 and Xcode 10 were added to the [continuous integration suite](https://travis-ci.org/nlohmann/json) at Travis. 427- Added [lgtm](https://lgtm.com/projects/g/nlohmann/json/context:cpp) checks to pull requests. 428- Added tests for CMake integration. #1260 429 430### :fire: Deprecated functions 431 432This release does not deprecate any functions.

While this may be a very special feature used by only few people, it allowed to unify all functions that consumed input and created some kind of JSON value. Internally, now all existing functions like `parse`, `accept`, `from_cbor`, `from_msgpack`, and `from_ubjson` use the SAX interface with different event processors. This allowed to separate the input processing from the value generation. Furthermore, throwing an exception in case of a parse error is now optional and up to the event processor. Finally, the JSON parser is now non-recursive (meaning it does not use the call stack, but `std::vector<bool>` to track the hierarchy of structured values) which allows to process nested input more efficiently. 453 454Furthermore, the library finally is able to parse from **wide string types**. This is the first step toward opening the library from UTF-8 to UTF-16 and UTF-32. 455 456This release further fixes several bugs in the library. All changes are backward-compatible. 457 458### :sparkles: New Features 459 460- added a parser with a **SAX interface** (#971, #1153) 461- support to parse from **wide string types** `std::wstring`, `std::u16string`, and `std::u32string`; the input will be converted to UTF-8 (#1031) 462- added support for **`std::string_view`** when using C++17 (#1028) 463- allow to **roundtrip `std::map` and `std::unordered_map`** from JSON if key type is not convertible to string; in these cases, values are serialized to arrays of pairs (#1079, #1089, #1133, #1138) 464 465### :bug: Bug Fixes 466 467- allow to create `nullptr_t` from JSON allowing to properly roundtrip `null` values (#1169) 468- allow compare user-defined string types (#1130) 469- better support for algorithms using iterators from `items()` (#1045, #1134) 470- added parameter to avoid compilation error with MSVC 2015 debug builds (#1114) 471- re-added accidentially skipped unit tests (#1176) 472- fixed MSVC issue with `std::swap` (#1168) 473 474### :zap: Improvements 475 476- `key()` function for iterators returns a const reference rather than a string copy (#1098) 477- binary formats CBOR, MessagePack, and UBJSON now supports `float` as type for floating-point numbers (#1021) 478 479### :hammer: Further Changes 480 481- changed issue templates 482- improved continuous integration: added builders for Xcode 9.3 and 9.4, added builders for GCC 8 and Clang 6, added builder for MinGW, added builders for MSVC targeting x86 483- required CMake version is now at least 3.8 (#1040) 484- overworked CMake file wrt. packaging (#1048) 485- added package managers: Spack (#1041) and CocoaPods (#1148) 486- fixed Meson include directory (#1142) 487- preprocessor macro `JSON_SKIP_UNSUPPORTED_COMPILER_CHECK` can skip the rejection of unsupported compilers - use at your own risk!

All changes are backward-compatible. 559 560### :bug: Bug Fixes 561 562- Fixed parsing of **CBOR strings with indefinite length** (#961). Earlier versions of this library misinterpreted the CBOR standard and rejected input with the `0x7F` start byte. 563- Fixed user-defined **conversion to vector type** (#924, #969). A wrong SFINAE check rejected code though a user-defined conversion was provided. 564- Fixed documentation of the parser behavior for **objects with duplicate keys** (#963). The exact behavior is not specified by [RFC 8259](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8259) and the library now also provides no guarantee which object key is stored. 565- Added check to detect memory **overflow when parsing UBJSON containers** (#962). The optimized UBJSON format allowed for specifying an array with billions of `null` elements with a few bytes and the library did not check whether this size exceeded `max_size()`. 566 567### :hammer: Further Changes 568 569- [Code coverage](https://coveralls.io/github/nlohmann/json) is now calculated for the individual header files, allowing to find uncovered lines more quickly than by browsing through the single header version (#953, #957). 570- A Makefile target `run_benchmarks` was added to quickly build and run the benchmark suite. 571- The documentation was harmonized with respect to the header inclusion (#955). Now all examples and the README use `#include <nlohmann/json.hpp>` to allow for selecting `single_include` or `include` or whatever installation folder as include directory. 572- Added note on how to use the library with the [cget](http://cget.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) package manager (#954). 573 574### :fire: Deprecated functions 575 576This release does not deprecate any functions.

It also contains some minor changes and bug fixes. All changes are backward-compatible. 596 597### :sparkles: New features 598 599- The library now supports [**UBJSON**](http://ubjson.org) (Universal Binary JSON Specification) as binary format to read and write JSON values space-efficiently. See the [documentation overview](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/blob/develop/doc/binary_formats.md) for a comparison of the different formats CBOR, MessagePack, and UBJSON. 600- [**JSON Merge Patch**](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7386) (RFC 7386) offers an intuitive means to describe patches between JSON values (#876, #877). See the documentation of [`merge_patch`](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/doxygen/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_a0ec0cd19cce42ae6071f3cc6870ea295.html#a0ec0cd19cce42ae6071f3cc6870ea295) for more information. 601 602### :zap: Improvements 603 604- The library now uses the **Grisu2 algorithm** for printing floating-point numbers (based on the reference implementation by Florian Loitsch) which produces a short representation which is guaranteed to round-trip (#360, #935, #936). 605- The **UTF-8 handling** was further simplified by using the decoder of Björn Hoehrmann in more scenarios. 606 607### :truck: Reorganization 608 609- Though the library is released as a single header, its development got more and more complicated. With this release, the header is **split into several files** and the single-header file `json.hpp` can be generated from these development sources. In the repository, folder `include` contains the development sources and `single_include` contains the single `json.hpp` header (#700, #906, #907, #910, #911, #915, #920, #924, #925, #928, #944). 610- The split further allowed for a **forward declaration header** `include/nlohmann/json_fwd.hpp` to speed up compilation times (#314). 611 612### :hammer: Further changes 613 614- [Google Benchmark](https://github.com/google/benchmark) is now used for micro benchmarks (see `benchmarks` folder, #921). 615- The serialization (JSON and binary formats) now properly work with the libraries string template parameter, allowing for optimized string implementations to be used in constraint environments such as embedded software (#941, #950). 616- The exceptional behavior can now be overridden by defining macros `JSON_THROW_USER`, `JSON_TRY_USER`, and `JSON_CATCH_USER`, defining the behavior of `throw`, `try` and `catch`, respectively. This allows to switch off C++'s exception mechanism yet still execute user-defined code in case an error condition occurs (#938). 617- To facilitate the interplay with [flex](https://github.com/westes/flex) and [Bison](https://www.gnu.org/software/bison/), the library does not use the variable name `yytext` any more as it could clash with macro definitions (#933). 618- The library now defines `NLOHMANN_JSON_VERSION_MAJOR`, `NLOHMANN_JSON_VERSION_MINOR`, and `NLOHMANN_JSON_VERSION_PATCH` to allow for conditional compilation based on the included library version (#943, #948). 619- A compilation error with ICC has been fixed (#947). 620- Typos and links in the documentation have been fixed (#900, #930). 621- A compiler error related to incomplete types has been fixed (#919). 622- The tests form the [UTF-8 decoder stress test](http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/examples/UTF-8-test.txt) have been added to the test suite. 623 624### :fire: Deprecated functions 625 626- Function [`iterator_wrapper`](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/doxygen/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_af1592a06bc63811886ade4f9d965045e.html#af1592a06bc63811886ade4f9d965045e) has been deprecated (#874). Since its introduction, the name was up for discussion, as it was too technical. We now introduced the member function [`items()`](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/doxygen/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_afe3e137ace692efa08590d8df40f58dd.html#afe3e137ace692efa08590d8df40f58dd) with the same semantics. `iterator_wrapper` will be removed in the next major version (i.e., 4.0.0). 627 628Furthermore, the following functions are deprecated since version 3.0.0 and will be removed in the next major version (i.e., 4.0.0): 629 630- [`friend std::istream& operator<<(basic_json&, std::istream&)`](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/doxygen/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_ab7285a92514fcdbe6de505ebaba92ea3.html#ab7285a92514fcdbe6de505ebaba92ea3) 631- [`friend std::ostream& operator>>(const basic_json&, std::ostream&)`](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/doxygen/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_a9e06deabe69262c3ffc5533d32856983.html#a9e06deabe69262c3ffc5533d32856983) 632 633Please use [`friend std::istream& operator>>(std::istream&, basic_json&)`](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/doxygen/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_aaf363408931d76472ded14017e59c9e8.html#aaf363408931d76472ded14017e59c9e8) and [`friend operator<<(std::ostream&, const basic_json&)`](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/doxygen/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_a5e34c5435e557d0bf666bd7311211405.html#a5e34c5435e557d0bf666bd7311211405) instead. 634 635## v3.0.1 636 637!!! summary "Files" 638 639 - [json.hpp](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases/download/v3.0.1/json.hpp) (502 KB) 640 - [json.hpp.asc](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases/download/v3.0.1/json.hpp.asc) (1 KB) 641 642Release date: 2017-12-29 643SHA-256: c9b3591f1bb94e723a0cd7be861733a3a555b234ef132be1e9027a0364118c4c 644 645### Summary 646 647This release fixes small issues in the implementation of **JSON Pointer** and **JSON Patch**. All changes are backward-compatible. 648 649### Changes 650 651- :bug: The **"copy" operation of JSON Patch** ([RFC 6902](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6902)) requests that it is an error if the target path points into a non-existing array or object (see #894 for a detailed description). This release fixes the implementation to detect such invalid target paths and throw an exception. 652- :bug: An **array index in a JSON Pointer** ([RFC 6901](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901)) must be an integer. This release fixes the implementation to throw an exception in case invalid array indices such as `10e2` are used. 653- :white_check_mark: Added the [JSON Patch tests](https://github.com/json-patch/json-patch-tests) from Byron Ruth and Mike McCabe. 654- :memo: Fixed the documentation of the [`at(ptr)` function with JSON Pointers](https://nlohmann.github.io/json/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_a8ab61397c10f18b305520da7073b2b45.html#a8ab61397c10f18b305520da7073b2b45) to list all possible exceptions (see #888). 655- :memo: Updated the [container overview documentation](https://nlohmann.github.io/json/) (see #883). 656- :wrench: The CMake files now respect the [`BUILD_TESTING`](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/CTest.html?highlight=build_testing) option (see #846, #885) 657- :rotating_light: Fixed some compiler warnings (see #858, #882). 658 659### Deprecated functions 660 661:fire: To unify the interfaces and to improve similarity with the STL, the following functions are deprecated since version 3.0.0 and will be removed in the next major version (i.e., 4.0.0): 662 663- [`friend std::istream& operator<<(basic_json&, std::istream&)`](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/doxygen/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_ab7285a92514fcdbe6de505ebaba92ea3.html#ab7285a92514fcdbe6de505ebaba92ea3) 664- [`friend std::ostream& operator>>(const basic_json&, std::ostream&)`](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/doxygen/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_a9e06deabe69262c3ffc5533d32856983.html#a9e06deabe69262c3ffc5533d32856983) 665 666Please use [`friend std::istream& operator>>(std::istream&, basic_json&)`](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/doxygen/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_aaf363408931d76472ded14017e59c9e8.html#aaf363408931d76472ded14017e59c9e8) and [`friend operator<<(std::ostream&, const basic_json&)`](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/doxygen/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_a5e34c5435e557d0bf666bd7311211405.html#a5e34c5435e557d0bf666bd7311211405) instead. 667 668## v3.0.0 669 670!!! summary "Files" 671 672 - [json.hpp](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases/download/v3.0.0/json.hpp) (501 KB) 673 - [json.hpp.asc](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases/download/v3.0.0/json.hpp.asc) (1 KB) 674 675Release date: 2017-12-17 676SHA-256: 076d4a0cb890a3c3d389c68421a11c3d77c64bd788e85d50f1b77ed252f2a462 677 678### Summary 679 680<img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/159488/34072418-8f5ba396-e287-11e7-9de7-8bc7482ac23c.png" align="right"> 681 682After almost a year, here is finally a new release of JSON for Modern C++, and it is a major one! As we adhere to [semantic versioning](https://semver.org), this means the release includes some breaking changes, so please read the next section carefully before you update. But don't worry, we also added a few new features and put a lot of effort into fixing a lot of bugs and straighten out a few inconsistencies. 683 684### :boom: Breaking changes 685 686This section describes changes that change the public API of the library and may require changes in code using a previous version of the library. In section "Moving from 2.x.x to 3.0.0" at the end of the release notes, we describe in detail how existing code needs to be changed. 687 688- The library now uses [**user-defined exceptions**](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/doxygen/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_a9a0aced019cb1d65bb49703406c84970.html#a9a0aced019cb1d65bb49703406c84970) instead of re-using those defined in `<stdexcept>` (#244). This not only allows to add more information to the exceptions (every exception now has an identifier, and parse errors contain the position of the error), but also to easily catch all library exceptions with a single `catch(json::exception)`. 689- When strings with a different encoding as UTF-8 were stored in JSON values, their serialization could not be parsed by the library itself, as only UTF-8 is supported. To enforce this library limitation and improve consistency, **non-UTF-8 encoded strings now yield a `json::type_error` exception during serialization** (#838). The check for valid UTF-8 is realized with code from [Björn Hoehrmann](http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de/). 690- **NaN and infinity values can now be stored inside the JSON value** without throwing an exception. They are, however, still serialized as `null` (#388). 691- The library's iterator tag was changed from RandomAccessIterator to **[BidirectionalIterator](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/BidirectionalIterator)** (#593). Supporting RandomAccessIterator was incorrect as it assumed an ordering of values in a JSON objects which are unordered by definition. 692- The library does not include the standard headers `<iostream>`, `<ctype>`, and `<stdexcept>` any more. You may need to add these headers to code relying on them. 693- Removed constructor `explicit basic_json(std::istream& i, const parser_callback_t cb = nullptr)` which was deprecated in version 2.0.0 (#480). 694 695### :fire: Deprecated functions 696 697To unify the interfaces and to improve similarity with the STL, the following functions are now deprecated and will be removed in the next major version (i.e., 4.0.0): 698 699- [`friend std::istream& operator<<(basic_json&, std::istream&)`](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/doxygen/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_ab7285a92514fcdbe6de505ebaba92ea3.html#ab7285a92514fcdbe6de505ebaba92ea3) 700- [`friend std::ostream& operator>>(const basic_json&, std::ostream&)`](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/doxygen/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_a9e06deabe69262c3ffc5533d32856983.html#a9e06deabe69262c3ffc5533d32856983) 701 702Please use [`friend std::istream& operator>>(std::istream&, basic_json&)`](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/doxygen/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_aaf363408931d76472ded14017e59c9e8.html#aaf363408931d76472ded14017e59c9e8) and [`friend operator<<(std::ostream&, const basic_json&)`](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/doxygen/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_a5e34c5435e557d0bf666bd7311211405.html#a5e34c5435e557d0bf666bd7311211405) instead. 703 704### :sparkles: New features 705 706With all this breaking and deprecation out of the way, let's talk about features! 707 708- We improved the **diagnostic information for syntax errors** (#301). Now, an exception [`json::parse_error`](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/doxygen/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_af1efc2468e6022be6e35fc2944cabe4d.html#af1efc2468e6022be6e35fc2944cabe4d) is thrown which contains a detailed message on the error, but also a member `byte` to indicate the byte offset in the input where the error occurred. 709- We added a **non-throwing syntax check** (#458): The new `accept` function returns a Boolean indicating whether the input is proper JSON. We also added a Boolean parameter `allow_exceptions` to the existing [`parse`](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/doxygen/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_aa9676414f2e36383c4b181fe856aa3c0.html#aa9676414f2e36383c4b181fe856aa3c0) functions to return a `discarded` value in case a syntax error occurs instead of throwing an exception. 710- An [`update`](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/doxygen/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_a1cfa9ae5e7c2434cab4cfe69bffffe11.html#a1cfa9ae5e7c2434cab4cfe69bffffe11) function was added to **merge two JSON objects** (#428). In case you are wondering: the name was inspired by [Python](https://docs.python.org/2/library/stdtypes.html#dict.update). 711- The [`insert`](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/doxygen/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_a1b0a4e60d56f1fe80501ed941e122892.html#a1b0a4e60d56f1fe80501ed941e122892) function now also supports an iterator range to add elements to an object. 712- The binary exchange formats **CBOR and MessagePack can now be parsed from input streams and written to output streams** (#477). 713- Input streams are now only read until the end of a JSON value instead of the end of the input (#367). 714- The serialization function [`dump`](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/doxygen/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_a5adea76fedba9898d404fef8598aa663.html#a5adea76fedba9898d404fef8598aa663) now has two optional parameters `ensure_ascii` to **escape all non-ASCII characters** with `\uxxxx` and an `indent_char` parameter to choose whether to **indent with spaces or tabs** (#654). 715- Added **built-in type support** for C arrays (#502), `std::pair` and `std::tuple` (#563, #614), `enum` and `enum class` (#545), `std::vector<bool>` (#494). Fixed support for `std::valarray` (#702), `std::array` (#553), and `std::map<std::string, std::string>` (#600, #607). 716 717### :hammer: Further changes 718 719Furthermore, there have been a lot of changes under the hood: 720 721- Replaced the [re2c](http://re2c.org) generated scanner by a self-coded version which allows for a better modularization of the parser and better diagnostics. To test the new scanner, we added millions (8,860,608 to be exact) of unit tests to check all valid and invalid byte sequences of the Unicode standard. 722- Google's OSS-Fuzz is still constantly fuzz-testing the library and found several issues that were fixed in this release (#497, #504, #514, #516, #518, #519, #575). 723- We now also ignore UTF-8 byte order marks when parsing from an iterator range (#602). 724- Values can be now moved from initializer lists (#663). 725- Updated to [Catch](https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2) 1.9.7. Unfortunately, Catch2 currently has some performance issues. 726- The non-exceptional paths of the library are now annotated with `__builtin_expect` to optimize branch prediction as long as no error occurs. 727- MSVC now produces a stack trace in MSVC if a `from_json` or `to_json` function was not found for a user-defined type. We also added a debug visualizer [`nlohmann_json.natvis`](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/blob/develop/nlohmann_json.natvis) for better debugging in MSVC (#844). 728- Overworked the documentation and added even more examples. 729- The build workflow now relies on CMake and CTest. Special flags can be chosen with CMake, including coverage (`JSON_Coverage`), compilation without exceptions (`JSON_NoExceptions`), LLVM sanitizers (`JSON_Sanitizer`), or execution with Valgrind (`JSON_Valgrind`). 730- Added support for package managers Meson (#576), Conan (#566), Hunter (#671, #829), and vcpkg (#753). 731- Added CI builders: Xcode 8.3, 9.0, 9.1, and 9.2; GCC 7.2; Clang 3.8, 3.9, 4.0, and 5.0; Visual Studio 2017. The library is further built with C++17 settings on the latest Clang, GCC, and MSVC version to quickly detect new issues. 732 733### Moving from 2.x.x to 3.0.0 734 735#### User-defined Exceptions 736 737There are five different exceptions inheriting from [`json::exception`](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/doxygen/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_a9a0aced019cb1d65bb49703406c84970.html#a9a0aced019cb1d65bb49703406c84970): 738 739- [`json::parse_error`](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/doxygen/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_af1efc2468e6022be6e35fc2944cabe4d.html#af1efc2468e6022be6e35fc2944cabe4d) for syntax errors (including the binary formats), 740- [`json::invalid_iterator`](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/doxygen/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_ac13d32f7cbd02d616e71d8dc30dadcbf.html#ac13d32f7cbd02d616e71d8dc30dadcbf) for errors related to iterators, 741- [`json::type_error`](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/doxygen/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_a4010e8e268fefd86da773c10318f2902.html#a4010e8e268fefd86da773c10318f2902) for errors where functions were called with the wrong JSON type, 742- [`json::out_of_range`](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/doxygen/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_a28f7c2f087274a0012eb7a2333ee1580.html#a28f7c2f087274a0012eb7a2333ee1580) for range errors, and 743- [`json::other_error`](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/doxygen/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_a3333a5a8714912adda33a35b369f7b3d.html#a3333a5a8714912adda33a35b369f7b3d) for miscellaneous errors. 744 745To support these exception, the `try`/`catch` blocks of your code need to be adjusted: 746 747| new exception | previous exception | 748|:--|:--| 749| parse_error.101 | invalid_argument | 750| parse_error.102 | invalid_argument | 751| parse_error.103 | invalid_argument | 752| parse_error.104 | invalid_argument | 753| parse_error.105 | invalid_argument | 754| parse_error.106 | domain_error | 755| parse_error.107 | domain_error | 756| parse_error.108 | domain_error | 757| parse_error.109 | invalid_argument | 758| parse_error.110 | out_of_range | 759| parse_error.111 | invalid_argument | 760| parse_error.112 | invalid_argument | 761| invalid_iterator.201 | domain_error | 762| invalid_iterator.202 | domain_error | 763| invalid_iterator.203 | domain_error | 764| invalid_iterator.204 | out_of_range | 765| invalid_iterator.205 | out_of_range | 766| invalid_iterator.206 | domain_error | 767| invalid_iterator.207 | domain_error | 768| invalid_iterator.208 | domain_error | 769| invalid_iterator.209 | domain_error | 770| invalid_iterator.210 | domain_error | 771| invalid_iterator.211 | domain_error | 772| invalid_iterator.212 | domain_error | 773| invalid_iterator.213 | domain_error | 774| invalid_iterator.214 | out_of_range | 775| type_error.301 | domain_error | 776| type_error.302 | domain_error | 777| type_error.303 | domain_error | 778| type_error.304 | domain_error | 779| type_error.305 | domain_error | 780| type_error.306 | domain_error | 781| type_error.307 | domain_error | 782| type_error.308 | domain_error | 783| type_error.309 | domain_error | 784| type_error.310 | domain_error | 785| type_error.311 | domain_error | 786| type_error.313 | domain_error | 787| type_error.314 | domain_error | 788| type_error.315 | domain_error | 789| out_of_range.401 | out_of_range | 790| out_of_range.402 | out_of_range | 791| out_of_range.403 | out_of_range | 792| out_of_range.404 | out_of_range | 793| out_of_range.405 | domain_error | 794| other_error.501 | domain_error | 795 796#### Handling of NaN and INF 797 798- If an overflow occurs during parsing a number from a JSON text, an exception [`json::out_of_range`](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/doxygen/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_a28f7c2f087274a0012eb7a2333ee1580.html#a28f7c2f087274a0012eb7a2333ee1580) is thrown so that the overflow is detected early and roundtripping is guaranteed. 799 800- NaN and INF floating-point values can be stored in a JSON value and are not replaced by null. That is, the basic_json class behaves like `double` in this regard (no exception occurs). However, NaN and INF are serialized to `null`. 801 802#### Removal of deprecated functions 803 804Function `explicit basic_json(std::istream& i, const parser_callback_t cb = nullptr)` should be replaced by the `parse` function: Let `ss` be a stream and `cb` be a parse callback function. 805 806Old code: 807 808```cpp 809json j(ss, cb); 810``` 811 812New code: 813 814```cpp 815json j = json::parse(ss, cb); 816``` 817 818If no callback function is used, also the following code works: 819 820```cpp 821json j; 822j << ss; 823``` 824 825or 826 827```cpp 828json j; 829ss >> j; 830``` 831 832## v2.1.1 833 834!!! summary "Files" 835 836 - [json.hpp](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases/download/v2.1.1/json.hpp) (437 KB) 837 - [json.hpp.asc](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases/download/v2.1.1/json.hpp.asc) (1 KB) 838 839Release date: 2017-02-25 840SHA-256: faa2321beb1aa7416d035e7417fcfa59692ac3d8c202728f9bcc302e2d558f57 841 842### Summary 843 844This release **fixes a locale-related bug in the parser**. To do so, the whole number handling (lexer, parser, and also the serialization) have been overworked. Furthermore, a lot of small changes added up that were added to this release. All changes are backward-compatible. 845 846### Changes 847- :bug: Locales that have a different character than `.` as decimal separator (e.g., the Norwegian locale `nb_NO.UTF-8`) led to truncated number parsing or parse errors. The library now has been fixed to work with **any locale**. Note that `.` is still the only valid decimal separator for JSON input. 848- :bug: Numbers like `1.0` were correctly parsed as floating-point number, but serialized as integer (`1`). Now, **floating-point numbers correctly round trip**. 849- :bug: Parsing incorrect JSON numbers with leading 0 (`0123`) could yield a [buffer overflow](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/452). This is fixed now by detecting such errors directly by the lexer. 850- :bug: Constructing a JSON value from a pointer was incorrectly interpreted as a Boolean; such code will now yield a compiler error. 851- :bug: Comparing a JSON number with `0` led to a comparison with `null`. This is fixed now. 852- :bug: All throw calls are now wrapped in macros. 853- :lock: Starting during the preparation of this release (since 8 February 2017), commits and released files are **cryptographically signed** with [this GPG key](https://keybase.io/nlohmann/pgp_keys.asc?fingerprint=797167ae41c0a6d9232e48457f3cea63ae251b69). Previous releases have also been signed. 854- :sparkles: The parser for MessagePack and CBOR now supports an optional start index parameter to define a byte offset for the parser. 855- :rotating_light: Some more warnings have been fixed. With Clang, the code compiles **without warnings** with `-Weverything` (well, it needs `-Wno-documentation-unknown-command` and `-Wno-deprecated-declarations`, but you get the point). 856- :hammer: The code can be compiled easier with many Android NDKs by avoiding macros like `UINT8_MAX` which previously required defining a preprocessor macro for compilation. 857- :zap: The unit tests now compile two times faster. 858- :heavy_plus_sign: [Cotire](https://github.com/sakra/cotire) is used to speed up the build. 859- :pencil2: Fixed a lot of typos in the documentation. 860- :memo: Added a section to the README file that lists all used [third-party code/tools](https://github.com/nlohmann/json#used-third-party-tools). 861- :memo: Added a note on constructing a string value vs. parsing. 862- :white_check_mark: The test suite now contains 11202597 unit tests. 863- :memo: Improved the [Doxygen documentation](https://nlohmann.github.io/json/) by shortening the template parameters of class `basic_json`. 864- :construction_worker: Removed Doozer. 865- :construction_worker: Added Codacity. 866- :arrow_up: Upgraded Catch to version 1.7.2. 867 868 869## v2.1.0 870 871!!! summary "Files" 872 873 - [json.hpp](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases/download/v2.1.0/json.hpp) (426 KB) 874 - [json.hpp.asc](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases/download/v2.1.0/json.hpp.asc) (1 KB) 875 876- Release date: 2017-01-28 877- SHA-256: a571dee92515b685784fd527e38405cf3f5e13e96edbfe3f03d6df2e363a767b 878 879### Summary 880 881This release introduces a means to convert from/to user-defined types. The release is backwards compatible. 882 883 884 885### Changes 886- :sparkles: The library now offers an elegant way to **convert from and to arbitrary value types**. All you need to do is to implement two functions: `to_json` and `from_json`. Then, a conversion is as simple as putting a `=` between variables. See the [README](https://github.com/nlohmann/json#arbitrary-types-conversions) for more information and examples. 887- :sparkles: **Exceptions can now be switched off.** This can be done by defining the preprocessor symbol `JSON_NOEXCEPTION` or by passing `-fno-exceptions` to your compiler. In case the code would usually thrown an exception, `abort()` is now called. 888- :sparkles: **Information on the library** can be queried with the new (static) function `meta()` which returns a JSON object with information on the version, compiler, and platform. See the [documentation]() for an example. 889- :bug: A bug in the CBOR parser was fixed which led to a buffer overflow. 890- :sparkles: The function [`type_name()`]() is now public. It allows to query the type of a JSON value as string. 891- :white_check_mark: Added the [Big List of Naughty Strings](https://github.com/minimaxir/big-list-of-naughty-strings) as test case. 892- :arrow_up: Updated to [Catch v1.6.0](https://github.com/philsquared/Catch/releases/tag/v1.6.0). 893- :memo: Some typos in the documentation have been fixed. 894 895 896## v2.0.10 897 898!!! summary "Files" 899 900 - [json.hpp](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases/download/v2.0.10/json.hpp) (409 KB) 901 - [json.hpp.asc](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases/download/v2.0.10/json.hpp.asc) (1 KB) 902 903- Release date: 2017-01-02 904- SHA-256: ec27d4e74e9ce0f78066389a70724afd07f10761009322dc020656704ad5296d 905 906### Summary 907 908This release fixes several security-relevant bugs in the MessagePack and CBOR parsers. The fixes are backwards compatible. 909 910### Changes 911- :bug: Fixed a lot of **bugs in the CBOR and MesssagePack parsers**. These bugs occurred if invalid input was parsed and then could lead in buffer overflows. These bugs were found with Google's [OSS-Fuzz](https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz), see #405, #407, #408, #409, #411, and #412 for more information. 912- :construction_worker: We now also use the **[Doozer](https://doozer.io) continuous integration platform**. 913- :construction_worker: The complete test suite is now also run with **Clang's address sanitizer and undefined-behavior sanitizer**. 914- :white_check_mark: Overworked **fuzz testing**; CBOR and MessagePack implementations are now fuzz-tested. Furthermore, all fuzz tests now include a round trip which ensures created output can again be properly parsed and yields the same JSON value. 915- :memo: Clarified documentation of `find()` function to always return `end()` when called on non-object value types. 916- :hammer: Moved thirdparty test code to `test/thirdparty` directory. 917 918## v2.0.9 919 920!!! summary "Files" 921 922 - [json.hpp](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases/download/v2.0.9/json.hpp) (406 KB) 923 - [json.hpp.asc](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases/download/v2.0.9/json.hpp.asc) (1 KB) 924 925- Release date: 2016-12-16 926- SHA-256: fbf3396f13e187d6c214c297bddc742d918ea9b55e10bfb3d9f458b9bfdc22e5 927 928### Summary 929 930This release implements with **[CBOR](http://cbor.io)** and **[MessagePack](http://msgpack.org)** two **binary serialization/deserialization formats**. It further contains some small fixes and improvements. The fixes are backwards compatible. 931 932 933 934### Changes 935- :sparkles: The library can now read and write the binary formats **[CBOR](http://cbor.io)** (Concise Binary Object Representation) and **[MessagePack](http://msgpack.org)**. Both formats are aimed to produce a very compact representation of JSON which can be parsed very efficiently. See the [README file](https://github.com/nlohmann/json#binary-formats-cbor-and-messagepack) for more information and examples. 936- :fire: simplified the iteration implementation allowing to remove dozens of lines of code 937- :bug: fixed an [integer overflow error](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/389) detected by [Google's OSS-Fuzz](https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz) 938- :bug: suppressed documentation warnings inside the library to facilitate compilation with `-Wdocumentation` 939- :bug: fixed an overflow detection error in the number parser 940- :memo: updated [contribution guidelines](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/blob/develop/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) to a list of frequentely asked features that will most likely be never added to the library 941- :memo: added a **table of contents** to the [README file](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/blob/develop/README.md) to add some structure 942- :memo: mentioned the many [examples](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/tree/develop/doc/examples) and the [documentation](https://nlohmann.github.io/json/) in the [README file]() 943- :hammer: split [unit tests](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/tree/develop/test/src) into individual independent binaries to speed up compilation and testing 944- :white_check_mark: the test suite now contains **11201886** tests 945 946## v2.0.8 947 948!!! summary "Files" 949 950 - [json.hpp](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases/download/v2.0.8/json.hpp) (360 KB) 951 - [json.hpp.asc](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases/download/v2.0.8/json.hpp.asc) (1 KB) 952 953- Release date: 2016-12-02 954- SHA-256: b70db0ad34f8e0e61dc3f0cbab88099336c9674c193d8a3439d93d6aca2d7120 955 956### Summary 957 958This release combines a lot of small fixes and improvements. The fixes are backwards compatible. 959 960### Changes 961- :bug: fixed a bug that froze the parser if a passed file was not found (now, `std::invalid_argument` is thrown) 962- :bug: fixed a bug that lead to an error of a file at EOF was parsed again (now, `std::invalid_argument` is thrown) 963- :sparkles: the well known functions [`emplace`](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/doxygen/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_a602f275f0359ab181221384989810604.html#a602f275f0359ab181221384989810604) and [`emplace_back`](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/doxygen/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_af8a435033327d9237da414afc1cce513.html#af8a435033327d9237da414afc1cce513) have been added to JSON values and work as expected 964- :zap: improved the performance of the serialization (`dump` function) 965- :zap: improved the performance of the deserialization (parser) 966- :construction_worker: some continuous integration images at [Travis](https://travis-ci.org/nlohmann/json) were added and retired; see [here](https://github.com/nlohmann/json#supported-compilers) for the current continuous integration setup 967- :construction_worker: the [Coverity scan](https://scan.coverity.com/projects/nlohmann-json) works again 968- :chart_with_upwards_trend: the benchmarking code has been improved to produce more stable results 969- :memo: the [README](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/blob/develop/README.md) file has been extended and includes more frequently asked examples 970- :white_check_mark: the test suite now contains 8905518 tests 971- :arrow_up: updated [Catch](https://github.com/philsquared/Catch) to version 1.5.8 972 973## v2.0.7 974 975!!! summary "Files" 976 977 - [json.hpp](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases/download/v2.0.7/json.hpp) (355 KB) 978 - [json.hpp.asc](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases/download/v2.0.7/json.hpp.asc) (1 KB) 979 980- Release date: 2016-11-02 981- SHA-256: 5545c323670f8165bae90b9dc6078825e86ec310d96cc4e5b47233ea43715bbf 982 983### Summary 984 985This release fixes a few bugs in the JSON parser found in the [Parsing JSON is a Minefield ](http://seriot.ch/parsing_json.html) article. The fixes are backwards compatible. 986 987### Changes 988- The article [Parsing JSON is a Minefield ](http://seriot.ch/parsing_json.html) discusses a lot of pitfalls of the JSON specification. When investigating the published test cases, a few bugs in the library were found and fixed: 989 - Files with less than 5 bytes can now be parsed without error. 990 - The library now properly rejects any file encoding other than UTF-8. Furthermore, incorrect surrogate pairs are properly detected and rejected. 991 - The library now accepts all but one "yes" test (y_string_utf16.json): UTF-16 is not supported. 992 - The library rejects all but one "no" test (n_number_then_00.json): Null bytes are treated as end of file instead of an error. This allows to parse input from null-terminated strings. 993- The string length passed to a user-defined string literal is now exploited to choose a more efficient constructor. 994- A few grammar mistakes in the README file have been fixed. 995 996## v2.0.6 997 998!!! summary "Files" 999 1000 - [json.hpp](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases/download/v2.0.6/json.hpp) (349 KB) 1001 - [json.hpp.asc](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases/download/v2.0.6/json.hpp.asc) (1 KB) 1002 1003- Release date: 2016-10-15 1004- SHA256: 459cc93d5e2f503e50c6d5876eb86bfea7daf405f5a567c5a2c9abc2383756ae 1005 1006### Summary 1007 1008This release fixes the semantics of `operator[]` for JSON Pointers (see below). This fix is backwards compatible. 1009 1010### Changes 1011- **`operator[]` for JSON Pointers** now behaves like the other versions of `operator[]` and transforms `null` values into objects or arrays if required. This allows to created nested structues like `j["/foo/bar/2"] = 17` (yielding `{"foo": "bar": [null, null, 17]}`) without problems. 1012- overworked a helper SFINAE function 1013- fixed some documentation issues 1014- fixed the CMake files to allow to run the test suite outside the main project directory 1015- restored test coverage to 100%. 1016 1017## v2.0.5 1018 1019!!! summary "Files" 1020 1021 - [json.hpp](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases/download/v2.0.5/json.hpp) (347 KB) 1022 - [json.hpp.asc](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases/download/v2.0.5/json.hpp.asc) (1 KB) 1023 1024- Release date: 2016-09-14 1025- SHA-256: 8b7565263a44e2b7d3b89808bc73d2d639037ff0c1f379e3d56dbd77e00b98d9 1026 1027### Summary 1028 1029This release fixes a regression bug in the stream parser (function `parse()` and the `<<`/`>>` operators). This fix is backwards compatible. 1030 1031### Changes 1032- **Bug fix**: The end of a file stream was not detected properly which led to parse errors.

The release is backwards compatible. 1065 1066### Changes 1067- The **parser/deserialization functions have been generalized** to process any contiguous sequence of 1-byte elements (e.g., `char`, `unsigned char`, `uint8_t`). This includes all kind of string representations (string literals, char arrays, `std::string`, `const char*`), contiguous containers (C-style arrays, `std::vector`, `std::array`, `std::valarray`, `std::initializer_list`). User-defined containers providing random-access iterator access via `std::begin` and `std::end` can be used as well. See the documentation ([1](https://nlohmann.github.io/json/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_ace63ac4eb1dd7251a259d32e397461a3.html#ace63ac4eb1dd7251a259d32e397461a3), [2](https://nlohmann.github.io/json/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_a90f05d55d9d0702c075cd281fd0d85ae.html#a90f05d55d9d0702c075cd281fd0d85ae), [3](https://nlohmann.github.io/json/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_aeffd70f622f8f2a51fd3d95af64b63a7.html#aeffd70f622f8f2a51fd3d95af64b63a7), [4](https://nlohmann.github.io/json/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_aa8dca2e91a6301c36890f844e64f0023.html#aa8dca2e91a6301c36890f844e64f0023)) for more information. Note that contiguous storage cannot be checked at compile time; if any of the parse functions are called with a noncompliant container, the behavior is undefined and will most likely yield segmentation violation. The preconditions are enforced by an assertion unless the library is compiled with preprocessor symbol `NDEBUG`. 1068- As a general remark on **assertions**: The library uses assertions to preclude undefined behavior. A [prominent example](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/289) for this is the `operator[]` for const JSON objects. The behavior of this const version of the operator is undefined if the given key does not exist in the JSON object, because unlike the non-const version, it cannot add a `null` value at the given key. Assertions can be switched of by defining the preprocessor symbol `NDEBUG`. See the [documentation of `assert`](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/error/assert) for more information. 1069- In the course of cleaning up the parser/deserialization functions, the constructor [`basic_json(std::istream&, const parser_callback_t)`](https://nlohmann.github.io/json/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_a32350263eb105764844c5a85e156a255.html#a32350263eb105764844c5a85e156a255) has been **deprecated** and will be deleted with the next major release 3.0.0 to unify the interface of the library. Deserialization will be done by stream operators or by calling one of the `parse` functions. That is, calls like `json j(i);` for an input stream `i` need to be replaced by `json j = json::parse(i);`. Compilers will produce a deprecation warning if client code uses this function. 1070- Minor improvements: 1071 - Improved the performance of the serialization by avoiding the re-creation of a locale object. 1072 - Fixed two MSVC warnings. Compiling the test suite with `/Wall` now only warns about non-inlined functions (C4710) and the deprecation of the constructor from input-stream (C4996). 1073- Some project internals: 1074 - <img align="right" src="https://bestpractices.coreinfrastructure.org/assets/questions_page_badge-17b338c0e8528d695d8676e23f39f17ca2b89bb88176370803ee69aeebcb5be4.png"> The project has qualified for the [Core Infrastructure Initiative Best Practices Badge](https://bestpractices.coreinfrastructure.org/projects/289). While most requirements where already satisfied, some led to a more explicit documentation of quality-ensuring procedures. For instance, static analysis is now executed with every commit on the build server. Furthermore, the [contribution guidelines document](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/blob/develop/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) how to communicate security issues privately. 1075 - The test suite has been overworked and split into several files to allow for faster compilation and analysis. The execute the test suite, simply execute `make check`. 1076 - The continuous integration with [Travis](https://travis-ci.org/nlohmann/json) was extended with Clang versions 3.6.0 to 3.8.1 and now includes 18 different compiler/OS combinations. 1077 - An 11-day run of [American fuzzy lop](http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/) checked 962 million inputs on the parser and found no issue. 1078 1079## v2.0.2 1080 1081!!! summary "Files" 1082 1083 - [json.hpp](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases/download/v2.0.2/json.hpp) (338 KB) 1084 - [json.hpp.asc](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases/download/v2.0.2/json.hpp.asc) (1 KB) 1085 1086- Release date: 2016-07-31 1087- SHA-256: 8e97b7965b4594b00998d6704465412360e1a0ed927badb51ded8b82291a8f3d 1088 1089### Summary 1090 1091This release combines a lot of small fixes and improvements. The release is backwards compatible. 1092 1093### Changes 1094- The **parser** has been overworked, and a lot of small issues have been fixed: 1095 - Improved parser performance by avoiding recursion and using move semantics for the return value. 1096 - Unescaped control charaters `\x10`-`\x1f` are not accepted any more. 1097 - Fixed a bug in the parser when reading from an input stream. 1098 - Improved test case coverage for UTF-8 parsing: now, all valid Unicode code points are tested both escaped and unescaped. 1099 - The precision of output streams is now preserved by the parser. 1100- Started to check the **code correctness** by proving termination of important loops. Furthermore, individual assertions have been replaced by a more systematic function which checks the class invariants. Note that assertions should be switched off in production by defining the preprocessor macro `NDEBUG`, see the [documentation of `assert`](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/error/assert). 1101- A lot of **code cleanup**: removed unused headers, fixed some compiler warnings, and fixed a build error for Windows-based Clang builds. 1102- Added some compile-time checks: 1103 - Unsupported compilers are rejected during compilation with an `#error` command. 1104 - Static assertion prohibits code with incompatible pointer types used in `get_ptr()`. 1105- Improved the [documentation](https://nlohmann.github.io/json/), and adjusted the documentation script to choose the correct version of `sed`. 1106- Replaced a lot of "raw loops" by STL functions like `std::all_of`, `std::for_each`, or `std::accumulate`. This facilitates reasoning about termination of loops and sometimes allowed to simplify functions to a single return statement. 1107- Implemented a `value()` function for JSON pointers (similar to `at` function). 1108- The Homebrew formula (see [Integration](https://github.com/nlohmann/json#integration)) is now tested for all Xcode builds (6.1 - 8.x) with Travis. 1109- Avoided output to `std::cout` in the test cases. 1110 1111## v2.0.1 1112 1113!!! summary "Files" 1114 1115 - [json.hpp](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases/download/v2.0.1/json.hpp) (321 KB) 1116 - [json.hpp.asc](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases/download/v2.0.1/json.hpp.asc) (1 KB) 1117 1118- Release date: 2016-06-28 1119- SHA-256: ef550fcd7df572555bf068e9ec4e9d3b9e4cdd441cecb0dcea9ea7fd313f72dd 1120 1121### Summary 1122 1123This release fixes a performance regression in the JSON serialization (function `dump()`).

Furthermore, several (subtle) bugs have been fixed. 1143 1144As `noexcept` and `constexpr` specifier have been added to several functions, the public API has effectively been changed in a (potential) non-backwards compatible manner. As we adhere to [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org), this calls for a new major version, so say hello to 2️⃣.0️⃣.0️⃣. 1145 1146### Changes 1147- A JSON value now uses `uint64_t` (default value for template parameter `NumberUnsignedType`) as data type for **unsigned integer** values. This type is used automatically when an unsigned number is parsed. Furthermore, constructors, conversion operators and an `is_number_unsigned()` test have been added. 1148- **JSON Pointer** ([RFC 6901](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901)) support: A JSON Pointer is a string (similar to an XPath expression) to address a value inside a structured JSON value. JSON Pointers can be used in `at()` and `operator[]` functions. Furthermore, JSON values can be “flattened” to key/value pairs using `flatten()` where each key is a JSON Pointer. The original value can be restored by “unflattening” the flattened value using `unflatten()`. 1149- **JSON Patch** ([RFC 6902](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6902)) support. A JSON Patch is a JSON value that describes the required edit operations (add, change, remove, …) to transform a JSON value into another one. A JSON Patch can be created with function `diff(const basic_json&)` and applied with `patch(const basic_json&)`. Note the created patches use a rather primitive algorithm so far and leave room for improvement. 1150- The code is now **locale-independent**: Floating-point numbers are always serialized with a period (`.`) as decimal separator and ignores different settings from the locale. 1151- **Homebrew** support: Install the library with `brew tap nlohmann/json && brew install nlohmann_json`. 1152- Added constructor to create a JSON value by parsing a `std::istream` (e.g., `std::stringstream` or `std::ifstream`). 1153- Added **`noexcept`** specifier to `basic_json(boolean_t)`, `basic_json(const number_integer_t)`, `basic_json(const int)`, `basic_json(const number_float_t)`, iterator functions (`begin()`, `end()`, etc.) 1154- When parsing numbers, the sign of `0.0` (vs. `-0.0`) is preserved. 1155- Improved MSVC 2015, Android, and MinGW support. See [README](https://github.com/nlohmann/json#supported-compilers) for more information. 1156- Improved test coverage (added 2,225,386 tests). 1157- Removed some misuses of `std::move`. 1158- Fixed several compiler warnings. 1159- Improved error messages from JSON parser. 1160- Updated to [`re2c`](http://re2c.org) to version 0.16 to use a minimal DFAs for the lexer. 1161- Updated test suite to use [Catch](https://github.com/philsquared/Catch) version 1.5.6. 1162- Made type getters (`is_number`, etc.) and const value access `constexpr`. 1163- Functions `push_back` and `operator+=` now work with key/value pairs passed as initializer list, e.g. `j_object += {"key", 1}`. 1164- Overworked `CMakeLists.txt` to make it easier to integrate the library into other projects. 1165 1166### Notes 1167- Parser error messages are still very vague and contain no information on the error location. 1168- The implemented `diff` function is rather primitive and does not create minimal diffs. 1169- The name of function `iteration_wrapper` may change in the future and the function will be deprecated in the next release. 1170- Roundtripping (i.e., parsing a JSON value from a string, serializing it, and comparing the strings) of floating-point numbers is not 100% accurate. Note that [RFC 7159](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7159) defines no format to internally represent numbers and states not requirement for roundtripping. Nevertheless, benchmarks like [Native JSON Benchmark](https://github.com/miloyip/nativejson-benchmark) treat roundtripping deviations as conformance errors. 1171 1172 1173## v1.1.0 1174 1175!!! summary "Files" 1176 1177 - [json.hpp](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases/download/v1.1.0/json.hpp) (257 KB) 1178 - [json.hpp.asc](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases/download/v1.1.0/json.hpp.asc) (1 KB) 1179 1180- Release date: 2016-01-24 1181- SHA-256: c0cf0e3017798ca6bb18e757ebc570d21a3bdac877845e2b9e9573d183ed2f05 1182 1183### Summary 1184 1185This release fixes several small bugs and adds functionality in a backwards-compatible manner. Compared to the [last version (1.0.0)](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases/tag/v1.0.0), the following changes have been made: 1186 1187### Changes 1188- _Fixed_: **Floating-point numbers** are now serialized and deserialized properly such that rountripping works in more cases. [#185, #186, #190, #191, #194] 1189- _Added_: The code now contains **assertions** to detect undefined behavior during development. As the standard function `assert` is used, the assertions can be switched off by defining the preprocessor symbol `NDEBUG` during compilation. [#168] 1190- _Added_: It is now possible to get a **reference** to the stored values via the newly added function `get_ref()`. [#128, #184] 1191- _Fixed_: Access to object values via keys (**`operator[]`**) now works with all kind of string representations. [#171, #189] 1192- _Fixed_: The code now compiles again with **Microsoft Visual Studio 2015**. [#144, #167, #188] 1193- _Fixed_: All required headers are now included. 1194- _Fixed_: Typos and other small issues. [#162, #166, #175, #177, #179, #180] 1195 1196### Notes 1197 1198There are still known open issues (#178, #187) which will be fixed in version 2.0.0. However, these fixes will require a small API change and will not be entirely backwards-compatible. 1199 1200 1201## v1.0.0 1202 1203!!! summary "Files" 1204 1205 - [json.hpp](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases/download/v1.0.0/json.hpp) (243 KB) 1206 - [json.hpp.asc](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases/download/v1.0.0/json.hpp.asc) (1 KB) 1207 1208- Release date: 2015-12-28 1209- SHA-256: 767dc2fab1819d7b9e19b6e456d61e38d21ef7182606ecf01516e3f5230446de 1210 1211### Summary 1212 1213This is the first official release. Compared to the [prerelease version 1.0.0-rc1](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases/tag/v1.0.0-rc1), only a few minor improvements have been made: 1214 1215### Changes 1216- _Changed_: A **UTF-8 byte order mark** is silently ignored. 1217- _Changed_: `sprintf` is no longer used. 1218- _Changed_: `iterator_wrapper` also works for const objects; note: the name may change! 1219- _Changed_: **Error messages** during deserialization have been improved. 1220- _Added_: The `parse` function now also works with type `std::istream&&`. 1221- _Added_: Function `value(key, default_value)` returns either a copy of an object's element at the specified key or a given default value if no element with the key exists. 1222- _Added_: Public functions are tagged with the version they were introduced. This shall allow for better **versioning** in the future. 1223- _Added_: All public functions and types are **documented** (see http://nlohmann.github.io/json/doxygen/) including executable examples. 1224- _Added_: Allocation of all types (in particular arrays, strings, and objects) is now exception-safe. 1225- _Added_: They descriptions of thrown exceptions have been overworked and are part of the tests suite and documentation. 1226
