/** A DOM parser for JSON contained in a single buffer.
This class is used to parse a JSON text contained in a
single character buffer, into a @ref value container.
@par Usage
To use the parser first construct it, then optionally
call @ref reset to specify a @ref storage_ptr to use
for the resulting @ref value. Then call @ref write
to parse a character buffer containing a complete
JSON text. If the parse is successful, call @ref release
to take ownership of the value:
@code
parser p; // construct a parser
size_t n = p.write( "[1,2,3]" ); // parse a complete JSON text
assert( n == 7 ); // all characters consumed
value jv = p.release(); // take ownership of the value
@endcode
@par Extra Data
When the character buffer provided as input contains
additional data that is not part of the complete
JSON text, an error is returned. The @ref write_some
function is an alternative which allows the parse
to finish early, without consuming all the characters
in the buffer. This allows parsing of a buffer
containing multiple individual JSON texts or containing
different protocol data:
@code
parser p; // construct a parser
size_t n = p.write_some( "[1,2,3] null" ); // parse a complete JSON text
assert( n == 8 ); // only some characters consumed
value jv = p.release(); // take ownership of the value
@endcode
@par Temporary Storage
The parser may dynamically allocate temporary
storage as needed to accommodate the nesting level
of the JSON text being parsed. Temporary storage is
first obtained from an optional, caller-owned
buffer specified upon construction. When that
is exhausted, the next allocation uses the
`boost::container::pmr::memory_resource` passed to the constructor; if
no such argument is specified, the default memory
resource is used. Temporary storage is freed only
when the parser is destroyed; The performance of
parsing multiple JSON texts may be improved by reusing
the same parser instance.
\n
It is important to note that the `boost::container::pmr::memory_resource`
supplied upon construction is used for temporary
storage only, and not for allocating the elements
which make up the parsed value. That other memory
resource is optionally supplied in each call
to @ref reset.
@par Duplicate Keys
If there are object elements with duplicate keys;
that is, if multiple elements in an object have
keys that compare equal, only the last equivalent
element will be inserted.
@par Non-Standard JSON
The @ref parse_options structure optionally
provided upon construction is used to customize
some parameters of the parser, including which
non-standard JSON extensions should be allowed.
A default-constructed parse options allows only
standard JSON.
@par Thread Safety
Distinct instances may be accessed concurrently.
Non-const member functions of a shared instance
may not be called concurrently with any other
member functions of that instance.
@see
@ref parse,
@ref parse_options,
@ref stream_parser.
