}A basic_json is a union type that can hold one of a number of possible data members,
some that require an allocator (a long string, byte string, array, or object),
and other trivially copyable ones that do not (an empty object, short string, number, boolean, or null).
The data member may be tagged with a semantic_tag that provides additional
information about its value. The sizeof a basic_json regardless of its template parameters
is normally 16 bytes.
A basic_json is allocator-aware, and supports allocator propagation to allocator-aware arrays
or objects. Every constructor has a version that accepts an allocator argument.
A long string, byte string, array or object contains a pointer to underlying storage,
the allocator is used to allocate that storage, and it is retained in that storage.
For other data members the allocator argument is ignored. For more about allocators,
see Allocators.
When assigned a new basic_json value, the old value is overwritten. The member data type of the new value may be different
from the old value.
A basic_json can support multiple readers concurrently, as long as it is not being modified.
If it is being modified, it must be by one writer with no concurrent readers.
Several aliases for common character types and policies for ordering an object's name/value pairs are provided:

| CharT | Character type of text string |
| Policy | Implementation policy for arrays and objects |
| Allocator | Allocator type for allocating internal storage for long strings, byte strings, arrays and objects.
The allocator type may be a stateless allocator, a std::pmr::polymorphic_allocator,
or a std::scoped_allocator_adaptor.
Non-propagating stateful allocators, such as the Boost.Interprocess allocators,
must be wrapped by a std::scoped_allocator_adaptor. |
