Dmitry's JSON's Improvements

https://cppalliance.org/dmitry/2023/10/30/dmitrys-q3-update.html

Boost.JSON was updated with error handling propagated to the back‑end optional/variant traits, a parse_into function for direct parsing that can double speed, variant conversion via event replay, and a constructor fix treating initializer_lists as copies.

    During Q3 MrDocs was progressed toward replacing Doxygen/Docca in Boost.URL, adding dependency extraction, URL‑safe symbol names, pattern‑based filtering, @ref/@copydoc lookup, clang patches for template handling, and AST memory optimizations.
  • Some Thoughts on Documentation
    Link #JSON
    The documentation pipeline for Boost.JSON was migrated from Doxygen‑generated Quickbook to AsciiDoc using a Python conversion tool and a multipage Asciidoctor plugin, restructuring overload comments and planning replacement of Doxygen with Mr.Docs.
  • Dmitry's Q2 2024 Update
    Link #JSON
    Direct parsing, extended serialisation and try_ accessors with source_location are now supported by Boost.JSON; a temporary proxy conversion is pending. Docs are generated by Docca using Jinja, and staging‑prefix installs are supported by Boost.Build.
  • Dmitry's Q1 2024 Update
    Link #Endian
    During Q1 2024 work on Boost.JSON included direct serialization and cleanup, a performance regression in the parser was identified and will be fixed, number serialization is being reimplemented with Charconv pending compiler support, Boost.Endian replaced internal endianness handling, and a recursive filesystem::path conversion bug was resolved.
