@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().

    invariant. Furthermore, it has to be called each time the type of a JSON
    value is changed, because the invariant expresses a relationship between
    @a m_type and @a m_value.

    Furthermore, the parent relation is checked for arrays and objects: If
    @a check_parents true and the value is an array or object, then the
    container's elements must have the current value as parent.

    @param[in] check_parents  whether the parent relation should be checked.
               The value is true by default and should only be set to false
               during destruction of objects when the invariant does not
               need to hold.
