+@brief the JSON type enumeration
+
+This enumeration collects the different JSON types. It is internally used to
+distinguish the stored values, and the functions @ref basic_json::is_null(),
+@ref basic_json::is_object(), @ref basic_json::is_array(),
+@ref basic_json::is_string(), @ref basic_json::is_boolean(),
+@ref basic_json::is_number() (with @ref basic_json::is_number_integer(),
+@ref basic_json::is_number_unsigned(), and @ref basic_json::is_number_float()),
+@ref basic_json::is_discarded(), @ref basic_json::is_primitive(), and
+@ref basic_json::is_structured() rely on it.
+
+@note There are three enumeration entries (number_integer, number_unsigned, and
+number_float), because the library distinguishes these three types for numbers:
+@ref basic_json::number_unsigned_t is used for unsigned integers,
+@ref basic_json::number_integer_t is used for signed integers, and
+@ref basic_json::number_float_t is used for floating-point numbers or to
+approximate integers which do not fit in the limits of their respective type.
+
+@sa see @ref basic_json::basic_json(const value_t value_type) -- create a JSON
+value with the default value for a given type
+
+@since version 1.0.0

+@brief comparison operator for JSON types
+
+Returns an ordering that is similar to Python:
+- order: null < boolean < number < object < array < string < binary
+- furthermore, each type is not smaller than itself
+- discarded values are not comparable
+- binary is represented as a b"" string in python and directly comparable to a

+  be surprising behavior in a JSON file.

-@ref basic_json::is_string(), @ref basic_json::is_boolean(),

-@note There are three enumeration entries (number_integer, number_unsigned, and
-number_float), because the library distinguishes these three types for numbers:
-@ref basic_json::number_unsigned_t is used for unsigned integers,
-@ref basic_json::number_integer_t is used for signed integers, and
-@ref basic_json::number_float_t is used for floating-point numbers or to
-approximate integers which do not fit in the limits of their respective type.

+@brief SAX implementation to create a JSON value from SAX events
+
+This class implements the @ref json_sax interface and processes the SAX events
+to create a JSON value which makes it basically a DOM parser. The structure or
+hierarchy of the JSON value is managed by the stack `ref_stack` which contains
+a pointer to the respective array or object for each recursion depth.
+
+After successful parsing, the value that is passed by reference to the
+constructor contains the parsed value.

 @brief a template for a bidirectional iterator for the @ref basic_json class
-
 This class implements a both iterators (iterator and const_iterator) for the
 @ref basic_json class.
-
 @note An iterator is called *initialized* when a pointer to a JSON value has
       been set (e.g., by a constructor or a copy assignment). If the iterator is
       default-constructed, it is *uninitialized* and most methods are undefined.
       **The library uses assertions to detect calls on uninitialized iterators.**

 @requirement The class satisfies the following concept requirements:

+    @brief a type for a packed binary type
+
+    This type is a type designed to carry binary data that appears in various
+    serialized formats, such as CBOR's Major Type 2, MessagePack's bin, and
+    BSON's generic binary subtype. This type is NOT a part of standard JSON and
+    exists solely for compatibility with these binary types. As such, it is
+    simply defined as an ordered sequence of zero or more byte values.
+
+    Additionally, as an implementation detail, the subtype of the binary data is
+    carried around as a `std::uint8_t`, which is compatible with both of the
+    binary data formats that use binary subtyping, (though the specific
+    numbering is incompatible with each other, and it is up to the user to
+    translate between them).
+
+    [CBOR's RFC 7049](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7049) describes this type
+    as:
+    > Major type 2: a byte string. The string's length in bytes is represented
+    > following the rules for positive integers (major type 0).
+
+    [MessagePack's documentation on the bin type
+    family](https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack/blob/master/spec.md#bin-format-family)
+    describes this type as:
+    > Bin format family stores an byte array in 2, 3, or 5 bytes of extra bytes
+    > in addition to the size of the byte array.
+
+    [BSON's specifications](http://bsonspec.org/spec.html) describe several
+    binary types; however, this type is intended to represent the generic binary
+    type which has the description:
+    > Generic binary subtype - This is the most commonly used binary subtype and
+    > should be the 'default' for drivers and tools.
+
+    None of these impose any limitations on the internal representation other
+    than the basic unit of storage be some type of array whose parts are
+    decomposable into bytes.
+
+    The default representation of this binary format is a
+    `std::vector<std::uint8_t>`, which is a very common way to represent a byte
+    array in modern C++.
+
+    #### Default type
+
+    The default values for @a BinaryType is `std::vector<std::uint8_t>`
+
+    #### Storage
+
+    Binary Arrays are stored as pointers in a @ref basic_json type. That is,
+    for any access to array values, a pointer of the type `binary_t*` must be
+    dereferenced.
+
+    #### Notes on subtypes
+
+    - CBOR
+       - Binary values are represented as byte strings. No subtypes are
+         supported and will be ignored when CBOR is written.
+    - MessagePack
+       - If a subtype is given and the binary array contains exactly 1, 2, 4, 8,
+         or 16 elements, the fixext family (fixext1, fixext2, fixext4, fixext8)
+         is used. For other sizes, the ext family (ext8, ext16, ext32) is used.
+         The subtype is then added as singed 8-bit integer.
+       - If no subtype is given, the bin family (bin8, bin16, bin32) is used.
+    - BSON
+       - If a subtype is given, it is used and added as unsigned 8-bit integer.
+       - If no subtype is given, the generic binary subtype 0x00 is used.

+
+    Serializes a given JSON value @a j to a byte vector using the UBJSON

+
+    @note The mapping is **complete** in the sense that any JSON value type
+          can be converted to a UBJSON value.
+
+    @note The following values can **not** be converted to a UBJSON value:
+          - strings with more than 9223372036854775807 bytes (theoretical)
+
+    @note The following markers are not used in the conversion:
+          - `Z`: no-op values are not created.
+          - `C`: single-byte strings are serialized with `S` markers.
+
+    @note Any UBJSON output created @ref to_ubjson can be successfully parsed
+          by @ref from_ubjson.
+
+    @note If NaN or Infinity are stored inside a JSON number, they are
+          serialized properly. This behavior differs from the @ref dump()
+          function which serializes NaN or Infinity to `null`.
+
+    @note The optimized formats for containers are supported: Parameter
+          @a use_size adds size information to the beginning of a container and
+          removes the closing marker. Parameter @a use_type further checks
+          whether all elements of a container have the same type and adds the
+          type marker to the beginning of the container. The @a use_type
+          parameter must only be used together with @a use_size = true. Note
+          that @a use_size = true alone may result in larger representations -
+          the benefit of this parameter is that the receiving side is
+          immediately informed on the number of elements of the container.
+
+    @note If the JSON data contains the binary type, the value stored is a list
+          of integers, as suggested by the UBJSON documentation.  In particular,
+          this means that serialization and the deserialization of a JSON
+          containing binary values into UBJSON and back will result in a
+          different JSON object.

+    @brief applies a JSON Merge Patch
+
+    The merge patch format is primarily intended for use with the HTTP PATCH
+    method as a means of describing a set of modifications to a target
+    resource's content. This function applies a merge patch to the current
+    JSON value.
+
+    The function implements the following algorithm from Section 2 of
+    [RFC 7396 (JSON Merge Patch)](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7396):
+
+    ```
+    define MergePatch(Target, Patch):
+      if Patch is an Object:
+        if Target is not an Object:
+          Target = {} // Ignore the contents and set it to an empty Object
+        for each Name/Value pair in Patch:
+          if Value is null:
+            if Name exists in Target:
+              remove the Name/Value pair from Target
+          else:
+            Target[Name] = MergePatch(Target[Name], Value)
+        return Target
+      else:
+        return Patch
+    ```
+
+    Thereby, `Target` is the current object; that is, the patch is applied to
+    the current value.
+
+    @param[in] apply_patch  the patch to apply
+
+    @complexity Linear in the lengths of @a patch.
