Implement support for string_view (attempt no. 3) (#3423)
* Add key_compare member to ordered_map

* Replace == with key_compare in ordered_map

* Expose the actual comparison function used by object_t

nlohmann::ordered_map uses a different comparison function than the one
provided via template parameter.
* Introduce a type trait to detect if object_t has a key_compare member.
* Rename object_comparator_t to default_object_comparator_t.
* Add object_comparator_t to be conditionally defined as
  object_t::key_compare, if available, or default_object_comparator_t
  otherwise.
* Update the documentation accordingly.

* Add type traits to check if a type is usable as object key

Add type trait to check:
* if a type is a specialization of a template.
* if a type is a json_pointer.
* if a type is a basic_json::{const_,}iterator.
* if two types are comparable using a given comparison functor.
* if a type is comparable to basic_json::object_t::key_type.
* if a type has a member type is_transparent.
* if a type is usable as object key.
* if a type has an erase() function accepting a given KeyType.

* Rework basic_json element access to accept more key types

Rework basic_json element access member functions and operators to
accept any type that meets the requirements defined by type trait
detail::is_usable_as_key_type.

Member functions and operators:
* at()
* operator[]
* value()
* erase()
* find()
* count()
* contains()

Update documentation to reflect these changes.

Add unit tests to excercise the new functions using std::string_view.

nlohmann::ordered_map

template<class Key, class T, class IgnoredLess = std::less<Key>,
         class Allocator = std::allocator<std::pair<const Key, T>>>
struct ordered_map : std::vector<std::pair<const Key, T>, Allocator>;

A minimal map-like container that preserves insertion order for use within nlohmann::ordered_json (nlohmann::basic_json<ordered_map>).

Template parameters

Key
key type
T
mapped type
IgnoredLess
comparison function (ignored and only added to ensure compatibility with #!cpp std::map)
Allocator
allocator type

Member types

  • key_type - key type (Key)
  • mapped_type - mapped type (T)
  • Container - base container type (#!cpp std::vector<std::pair<const Key, T>, Allocator>)
  • iterator
  • const_iterator
  • size_type
  • value_type
  • key_compare - key comparison function
std::equal_to<Key>  // until C++14

std::equal_to<>     // since C++14

Member functions

  • (constructor)
  • (destructor)
  • emplace
  • operator[]
  • at
  • erase
  • count
  • find
  • insert

Examples

??? example

The example shows the different behavior of `std::map` and `nlohmann::ordered_map`.
 
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/ordered_map.cpp"
```

Output:

```json
--8<-- "examples/ordered_map.output"
```
