Peter Johnson 301442ee43 Add json support to wpiutil.
This is a modified version of https://github.com/nlohmann/json.

It's been moved into the wpi namespace as many of the changes are not
compatible.  The amount of template code has been significantly reduced,
enabling many functions to be moved out-of-line, and for the result to
build on older compiler versions (in particular GCC 4.8).

@brief exception indicating a parse error
This excpetion is thrown by the library when a parse error occurs. Parse
errors can occur during the deserialization of JSON text as well as when
using JSON Patch.
Member @a byte holds the byte index of the last read character in the input
file.
@note For an input with n bytes, 1 is the index of the first character
and n+1 is the index of the terminating null byte or the end of
file. This also holds true when reading a byte vector (CBOR or
MessagePack).
Exceptions have ids 1xx.

------------------------------ | --------------- | -------------------------
json.exception.parse_error.101 | parse error at 2: unexpected end of input; expected string literal | This error indicates a syntax error while deserializing a JSON text. The error message describes that an unexpected token (character) was encountered, and the member @a byte indicates the error position.
json.exception.parse_error.102 | parse error at 14: missing or wrong low surrogate | JSON uses the `\uxxxx` format to describe Unicode characters. Code points above above 0xFFFF are split into two `\uxxxx` entries ("surrogate pairs"). This error indicates that the surrogate pair is incomplete or contains an invalid code point.
json.exception.parse_error.103 | parse error: code points above 0x10FFFF are invalid | Unicode supports code points up to 0x10FFFF. Code points above 0x10FFFF are invalid.
json.exception.parse_error.104 | parse error: JSON patch must be an array of objects | [RFC 6902](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6902) requires a JSON Patch document to be a JSON document that represents an array of objects.
json.exception.parse_error.105 | parse error: operation must have string member 'op' | An operation of a JSON Patch document must contain exactly one "op" member, whose value indicates the operation to perform. Its value must be one of "add", "remove", "replace", "move", "copy", or "test"; other values are errors.
json.exception.parse_error.106 | parse error: array index '01' must not begin with '0' | An array index in a JSON Pointer ([RFC 6901](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901)) may be `0` or any number wihtout a leading `0`.
json.exception.parse_error.107 | parse error: JSON pointer must be empty or begin with '/' - was: 'foo' | A JSON Pointer must be a Unicode string containing a sequence of zero or more reference tokens, each prefixed by a `/` character.
json.exception.parse_error.108 | parse error: escape character '~' must be followed with '0' or '1' | In a JSON Pointer, only `~0` and `~1` are valid escape sequences.
json.exception.parse_error.109 | parse error: array index 'one' is not a number | A JSON Pointer array index must be a number.
json.exception.parse_error.110 | parse error at 1: cannot read 2 bytes from vector | When parsing CBOR or MessagePack, the byte vector ends before the complete value has been read.
json.exception.parse_error.111 | parse error: bad input stream | Parsing CBOR or MessagePack from an input stream where the [`badbit` or `failbit`](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/io/ios_base/iostate) is set.
json.exception.parse_error.112 | parse error at 1: error reading CBOR; last byte: 0xf8 | Not all types of CBOR or MessagePack are supported. This exception occurs if an unsupported byte was read.
json.exception.parse_error.113 | parse error at 2: expected a CBOR string; last byte: 0x98 | While parsing a map key, a value that is not a string has been read.

json.exception.invalid_iterator.201 | iterators are not compatible | The iterators passed to constructor @ref json(InputIT first, InputIT last) are not compatible, meaning they do not belong to the same container. Therefore, the range (@a first, @a last) is invalid.
json.exception.invalid_iterator.202 | iterator does not fit current value | In an erase or insert function, the passed iterator @a pos does not belong to the JSON value for which the function was called. It hence does not define a valid position for the deletion/insertion.
json.exception.invalid_iterator.203 | iterators do not fit current value | Either iterator passed to function @ref erase(IteratorType first, IteratorType last) does not belong to the JSON value from which values shall be erased. It hence does not define a valid range to delete values from.
json.exception.invalid_iterator.204 | iterators out of range | When an iterator range for a primitive type (number, boolean, or string) is passed to a constructor or an erase function, this range has to be exactly (@ref begin(), @ref end()), because this is the only way the single stored value is expressed. All other ranges are invalid.
json.exception.invalid_iterator.205 | iterator out of range | When an iterator for a primitive type (number, boolean, or string) is passed to an erase function, the iterator has to be the @ref begin() iterator, because it is the only way to address the stored value. All other iterators are invalid.
json.exception.invalid_iterator.206 | cannot construct with iterators from null | The iterators passed to constructor @ref json(InputIT first, InputIT last) belong to a JSON null value and hence to not define a valid range.
json.exception.invalid_iterator.207 | cannot use key() for non-object iterators | The key() member function can only be used on iterators belonging to a JSON object, because other types do not have a concept of a key.
json.exception.invalid_iterator.208 | cannot use operator[] for object iterators | The operator[] to specify a concrete offset cannot be used on iterators belonging to a JSON object, because JSON objects are unordered.
json.exception.invalid_iterator.209 | cannot use offsets with object iterators | The offset operators (+, -, +=, -=) cannot be used on iterators belonging to a JSON object, because JSON objects are unordered.
json.exception.invalid_iterator.210 | iterators do not fit | The iterator range passed to the insert function are not compatible, meaning they do not belong to the same container. Therefore, the range (@a first, @a last) is invalid.
json.exception.invalid_iterator.211 | passed iterators may not belong to container | The iterator range passed to the insert function must not be a subrange of the container to insert to.
json.exception.invalid_iterator.212 | cannot compare iterators of different containers | When two iterators are compared, they must belong to the same container.
json.exception.invalid_iterator.213 | cannot compare order of object iterators | The order of object iterators cannot be compated, because JSON objects are unordered.
json.exception.invalid_iterator.214 | cannot get value | Cannot get value for iterator: Either the iterator belongs to a null value or it is an iterator to a primitive type (number, boolean, or string), but the iterator is different to @ref begin().

json.exception.type_error.302 | type must be object, but is array | During implicit or explicit value conversion, the JSON type must be compatible to the target type. For instance, a JSON string can only be converted into string types, but not into numbers or boolean types.
json.exception.type_error.303 | incompatible ReferenceType for get_ref, actual type is object | To retrieve a reference to a value stored in a @ref json object with @ref get_ref, the type of the reference must match the value type. For instance, for a JSON array, the @a ReferenceType must be @ref array_t&.

- [StandardLayoutType](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/StandardLayoutType):
JSON values have
[standard layout](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/data_members#Standard_layout):
All non-static data members are private and standard layout types, the

operator<(const_reference,const_reference).
- [Swappable](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/Swappable):
Any JSON lvalue or rvalue of can be swapped with any lvalue or rvalue of
other compatible types, using unqualified function call @ref swap().
- [NullablePointer](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/NullablePointer):
JSON values can be compared against `std::nullptr_t` objects which are used
to model the `null` value.
- Container
- [Container](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/Container):
JSON values can be used like STL containers and provide iterator access.
- [ReversibleContainer](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/ReversibleContainer);
JSON values can be used like STL containers and provide reverse iterator
access.
@invariant The member variables @a m_value and @a m_type have the following
relationship:
- If `m_type == value_t::object`, then `m_value.object != nullptr`.
- If `m_type == value_t::array`, then `m_value.array != nullptr`.
- If `m_type == value_t::string`, then `m_value.string != nullptr`.
The invariants are checked by member function assert_invariant().

/*!
@brief a type for an object
[RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) describes JSON objects as follows:
> An object is an unordered collection of zero or more name/value pairs,
> where a name is a string and a value is a string, number, boolean, null,
> object, or array.
#### Behavior
The choice of @a object_t influences the behavior of the JSON class. With
the default type, objects have the following behavior:
- When all names are unique, objects will be interoperable in the sense
that all software implementations receiving that object will agree on
the name-value mappings.
- When the names within an object are not unique, later stored name/value
pairs overwrite previously stored name/value pairs, leaving the used
names unique. For instance, `{"key": 1}` and `{"key": 2, "key": 1}` will
be treated as equal and both stored as `{"key": 1}`.
- Internally, name/value pairs are stored in lexicographical order of the
names. Objects will also be serialized (see @ref dump) in this order.
For instance, `{"b": 1, "a": 2}` and `{"a": 2, "b": 1}` will be stored
and serialized as `{"a": 2, "b": 1}`.
- When comparing objects, the order of the name/value pairs is irrelevant.
This makes objects interoperable in the sense that they will not be
affected by these differences. For instance, `{"b": 1, "a": 2}` and
`{"a": 2, "b": 1}` will be treated as equal.
#### Limits
[RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) specifies:
> An implementation may set limits on the maximum depth of nesting.
In this class, the object's limit of nesting is not constraint explicitly.
However, a maximum depth of nesting may be introduced by the compiler or
runtime environment. A theoretical limit can be queried by calling the
@ref max_size function of a JSON object.
#### Storage
Objects are stored as pointers in a @ref json type. That is, for any
access to object values, a pointer of type `object_t*` must be
dereferenced.
@sa @ref array_t -- type for an array value
@since version 1.0.0
@note The order name/value pairs are added to the object is *not*
preserved by the library. Therefore, iterating an object may return
name/value pairs in a different order than they were originally stored. In
fact, keys will be traversed in alphabetical order as `std::map` with
`std::less` is used by default. Please note this behavior conforms to [RFC
7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159), because any order implements the
specified "unordered" nature of JSON objects.

@code {.cpp}
std::string
@endcode
#### Encoding
Strings are stored in UTF-8 encoding. Therefore, functions like
`std::string::size()` or `std::string::length()` return the number of
bytes in the string rather than the number of characters or glyphs.
#### String comparison
[RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) states:
> Software implementations are typically required to test names of object
> members for equality. Implementations that transform the textual
> representation into sequences of Unicode code units and then perform the
> comparison numerically, code unit by code unit, are interoperable in the
> sense that implementations will agree in all cases on equality or
> inequality of two strings. For example, implementations that compare
> strings with escaped characters unconverted may incorrectly find that
> `"a\\b"` and `"a\u005Cb"` are not equal.
This implementation is interoperable as it does compare strings code unit
by code unit.
#### Storage
String values are stored as pointers in a @ref basic_json type. That is,
for any access to string values, a pointer of type `string_t*` must be
dereferenced.

@brief a type for a number (integer)
[RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) describes numbers as follows:
> The representation of numbers is similar to that used in most
> programming languages. A number is represented in base 10 using decimal
> digits. It contains an integer component that may be prefixed with an
> optional minus sign, which may be followed by a fraction part and/or an
> exponent part. Leading zeros are not allowed. (...) Numeric values that
> cannot be represented in the grammar below (such as Infinity and NaN)
> are not permitted.
This description includes both integer and floating-point numbers.
However, C++ allows more precise storage if it is known whether the number
is a signed integer, an unsigned integer or a floating-point number.
Therefore, three different types, @ref number_integer_t, @ref
number_unsigned_t and @ref number_float_t are used.
#### Default type
The default value for @a number_integer_t is:
@code {.cpp}
int64_t
@endcode
#### Default behavior
- The restrictions about leading zeros is not enforced in C++. Instead,
leading zeros in integer literals lead to an interpretation as octal
number. Internally, the value will be stored as decimal number. For
instance, the C++ integer literal `010` will be serialized to `8`.
During deserialization, leading zeros yield an error.
- Not-a-number (NaN) values will be serialized to `null`.
#### Limits
[RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) specifies:
> An implementation may set limits on the range and precision of numbers.
When the default type is used, the maximal integer number that can be
stored is `9223372036854775807` (INT64_MAX) and the minimal integer number
that can be stored is `-9223372036854775808` (INT64_MIN). Integer numbers
that are out of range will yield over/underflow when used in a
constructor. During deserialization, too large or small integer numbers
will be automatically be stored as @ref number_unsigned_t or @ref
number_float_t.
[RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) further states:
> Note that when such software is used, numbers that are integers and are
> in the range \f$[-2^{53}+1, 2^{53}-1]\f$ are interoperable in the sense
> that implementations will agree exactly on their numeric values.
As this range is a subrange of the exactly supported range [INT64_MIN,
INT64_MAX], this class's integer type is interoperable.
#### Storage
Integer number values are stored directly inside a @ref basic_json type.

number that can be stored is `0`. Integer numbers that are out of range

@brief per-element parser callback type
With a parser callback function, the result of parsing a JSON text can be
influenced. When passed to @ref parse(wpi::raw_istream&, const
parser_callback_t) or @ref parse(const CharT, const parser_callback_t),
it is called on certain events (passed as @ref parse_event_t via parameter
@a event) with a set recursion depth @a depth and context JSON value
@a parsed. The return value of the callback function is a boolean
indicating whether the element that emitted the callback shall be kept or
not.
We distinguish six scenarios (determined by the event type) in which the
callback function can be called. The following table describes the values
of the parameters @a depth, @a event, and @a parsed.
parameter @a event | description | parameter @a depth | parameter @a parsed
------------------ | ----------- | ------------------ | -------------------
parse_event_t::object_start | the parser read `{` and started to process a JSON object | depth of the parent of the JSON object | a JSON value with type discarded
parse_event_t::key | the parser read a key of a value in an object | depth of the currently parsed JSON object | a JSON string containing the key
parse_event_t::object_end | the parser read `}` and finished processing a JSON object | depth of the parent of the JSON object | the parsed JSON object
parse_event_t::array_start | the parser read `[` and started to process a JSON array | depth of the parent of the JSON array | a JSON value with type discarded
parse_event_t::array_end | the parser read `]` and finished processing a JSON array | depth of the parent of the JSON array | the parsed JSON array
parse_event_t::value | the parser finished reading a JSON value | depth of the value | the parsed JSON value
@image html callback_events.png "Example when certain parse events are triggered"
Discarding a value (i.e., returning `false`) has different effects
depending on the context in which function was called:
- Discarded values in structured types are skipped. That is, the parser
will behave as if the discarded value was never read.
- In case a value outside a structured type is skipped, it is replaced
with `null`. This case happens if the top-level element is skipped.
@param[in] depth the depth of the recursion during parsing
@param[in] event an event of type parse_event_t indicating the context in

@brief create a container (array or object) from an initializer list
Creates a JSON value of type array or object from the passed initializer
list @a init. In case @a type_deduction is `true` (default), the type of
the JSON value to be created is deducted from the initializer list @a init
according to the following rules:
1. If the list is empty, an empty JSON object value `{}` is created.
2. If the list consists of pairs whose first element is a string, a JSON
object value is created where the first elements of the pairs are
treated as keys and the second elements are as values.
3. In all other cases, an array is created.
The rules aim to create the best fit between a C++ initializer list and
JSON values. The rationale is as follows:
1. The empty initializer list is written as `{}` which is exactly an empty
JSON object.
2. C++ has now way of describing mapped types other than to list a list of
pairs. As JSON requires that keys must be of type string, rule 2 is the
weakest constraint one can pose on initializer lists to interpret them
as an object.
3. In all other cases, the initializer list could not be interpreted as
JSON object type, so interpreting it as JSON array type is safe.
With the rules described above, the following JSON values cannot be
expressed by an initializer list:
- the empty array (`[]`): use @ref array(std::initializer_list<json>)
with an empty initializer list in this case
- arrays whose elements satisfy rule 2: use @ref
array(std::initializer_list<json>) with the same initializer list
in this case
@note When used without parentheses around an empty initializer list, @ref
json() is called instead of this function, yielding the JSON null
value.
@param[in] init initializer list with JSON values
@param[in] type_deduction internal parameter; when set to `true`, the type
of the JSON value is deducted from the initializer list @a init; when set
to `false`, the type provided via @a manual_type is forced. This mode is
used by the functions @ref array(std::initializer_list<json>) and
@ref object(std::initializer_list<json>).
@param[in] manual_type internal parameter; when @a type_deduction is set
to `false`, the created JSON value will use the provided type (only @ref
value_t::array and @ref value_t::object are valid); when @a type_deduction
is set to `true`, this parameter has no effect
@throw type_error.301 if @a type_deduction is `false`, @a manual_type is
`value_t::object`, but @a init contains an element which is not a pair
whose first element is a string. In this case, the constructor could not
create an object. If @a type_deduction would have be `true`, an array
would have been created. See @ref object(std::initializer_list<json>)

@brief access specified element via JSON Pointer
Uses a JSON pointer to retrieve a reference to the respective JSON value.
No bound checking is performed. Similar to @ref operator[](
llvm::StringRef), `null` values are created in arrays and objects if
necessary.
In particular:
- If the JSON pointer points to an object key that does not exist, it
is created an filled with a `null` value before a reference to it
is returned.
- If the JSON pointer points to an array index that does not exist, it
is created an filled with a `null` value before a reference to it
is returned. All indices between the current maximum and the given
index are also filled with `null`.
- The special value `-` is treated as a synonym for the index past the
end.

@brief unflatten a previously flattened JSON value
The function restores the arbitrary nesting of a JSON value that has been
flattened before using the @ref flatten() function. The JSON value must
meet certain constraints:
1. The value must be an object.

[RFC 6901](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901))
3. The mapped values must be primitive JSON types.
@return the original JSON from a flattened version
@note Empty objects and arrays are flattened by @ref flatten() to `null`
values and can not unflattened to their original type. Apart from
this example, for a JSON value `j`, the following is always true:
`j == j.flatten().unflatten()`.
