Description

This is a Regular. Regular type which works like a variant of the basic JSON data types: array, object, string, number, boolean, and null.

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.
