+@brief exception indicating a parse error
+
+This exception is thrown by the library when a parse error occurs. Parse errors
+can occur during the deserialization of JSON text, CBOR, MessagePack, as well
+as when using JSON Patch.
+
+Member @a byte holds the byte index of the last read character in the input
+file.
+
+Exceptions have ids 1xx.

+------------------------------ | --------------- | -------------------------
+json.exception.parse_error.101 | parse error at 2: unexpected end of input; expected string literal | This error indicates a syntax error while deserializing a JSON text. The error message describes that an unexpected token (character) was encountered, and the member @a byte indicates the error position.
+json.exception.parse_error.102 | parse error at 14: missing or wrong low surrogate | JSON uses the `\uxxxx` format to describe Unicode characters. Code points above above 0xFFFF are split into two `\uxxxx` entries ("surrogate pairs"). This error indicates that the surrogate pair is incomplete or contains an invalid code point.
+json.exception.parse_error.103 | parse error: code points above 0x10FFFF are invalid | Unicode supports code points up to 0x10FFFF. Code points above 0x10FFFF are invalid.
+json.exception.parse_error.104 | parse error: JSON patch must be an array of objects | [RFC 6902](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6902) requires a JSON Patch document to be a JSON document that represents an array of objects.
+json.exception.parse_error.105 | parse error: operation must have string member 'op' | An operation of a JSON Patch document must contain exactly one "op" member, whose value indicates the operation to perform. Its value must be one of "add", "remove", "replace", "move", "copy", or "test"; other values are errors.
+json.exception.parse_error.106 | parse error: array index '01' must not begin with '0' | An array index in a JSON Pointer ([RFC 6901](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901)) may be `0` or any number without a leading `0`.
+json.exception.parse_error.107 | parse error: JSON pointer must be empty or begin with '/' - was: 'foo' | A JSON Pointer must be a Unicode string containing a sequence of zero or more reference tokens, each prefixed by a `/` character.
+json.exception.parse_error.108 | parse error: escape character '~' must be followed with '0' or '1' | In a JSON Pointer, only `~0` and `~1` are valid escape sequences.
+json.exception.parse_error.109 | parse error: array index 'one' is not a number | A JSON Pointer array index must be a number.
+json.exception.parse_error.110 | parse error at 1: cannot read 2 bytes from vector | When parsing CBOR or MessagePack, the byte vector ends before the complete value has been read.
+json.exception.parse_error.112 | parse error at 1: error reading CBOR; last byte: 0xF8 | Not all types of CBOR or MessagePack are supported. This exception occurs if an unsupported byte was read.
+json.exception.parse_error.113 | parse error at 2: expected a CBOR string; last byte: 0x98 | While parsing a map key, a value that is not a string has been read.
+json.exception.parse_error.114 | parse error: Unsupported BSON record type 0x0F | The parsing of the corresponding BSON record type is not implemented (yet).
+json.exception.parse_error.115 | parse error at byte 5: syntax error while parsing UBJSON high-precision number: invalid number text: 1A | A UBJSON high-precision number could not be parsed.
+
+@note For an input with n bytes, 1 is the index of the first character and n+1
+      is the index of the terminating null byte or the end of file. This also
+      holds true when reading a byte vector (CBOR or MessagePack).

+json.exception.invalid_iterator.203 | iterators do not fit current value | Either iterator passed to function @ref erase(IteratorType first, IteratorType last) does not belong to the JSON value from which values shall be erased. It hence does not define a valid range to delete values from.
+json.exception.invalid_iterator.204 | iterators out of range | When an iterator range for a primitive type (number, boolean, or string) is passed to a constructor or an erase function, this range has to be exactly (@ref begin(), @ref end()), because this is the only way the single stored value is expressed. All other ranges are invalid.
+json.exception.invalid_iterator.205 | iterator out of range | When an iterator for a primitive type (number, boolean, or string) is passed to an erase function, the iterator has to be the @ref begin() iterator, because it is the only way to address the stored value.

-@brief exception indicating a parse error
-
-This exception is thrown by the library when a parse error occurs. Parse errors
-can occur during the deserialization of JSON text, CBOR, MessagePack, as well
-as when using JSON Patch.
-
-Member @a byte holds the byte index of the last read character in the input
-file.
-
-Exceptions have ids 1xx.

------------------------------- | --------------- | -------------------------
-json.exception.parse_error.101 | parse error at 2: unexpected end of input; expected string literal | This error indicates a syntax error while deserializing a JSON text. The error message describes that an unexpected token (character) was encountered, and the member @a byte indicates the error position.
-json.exception.parse_error.102 | parse error at 14: missing or wrong low surrogate | JSON uses the `\uxxxx` format to describe Unicode characters. Code points above above 0xFFFF are split into two `\uxxxx` entries ("surrogate pairs"). This error indicates that the surrogate pair is incomplete or contains an invalid code point.
-json.exception.parse_error.103 | parse error: code points above 0x10FFFF are invalid | Unicode supports code points up to 0x10FFFF. Code points above 0x10FFFF are invalid.
-json.exception.parse_error.104 | parse error: JSON patch must be an array of objects | [RFC 6902](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6902) requires a JSON Patch document to be a JSON document that represents an array of objects.
-json.exception.parse_error.105 | parse error: operation must have string member 'op' | An operation of a JSON Patch document must contain exactly one "op" member, whose value indicates the operation to perform. Its value must be one of "add", "remove", "replace", "move", "copy", or "test"; other values are errors.
-json.exception.parse_error.106 | parse error: array index '01' must not begin with '0' | An array index in a JSON Pointer ([RFC 6901](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901)) may be `0` or any number without a leading `0`.
-json.exception.parse_error.107 | parse error: JSON pointer must be empty or begin with '/' - was: 'foo' | A JSON Pointer must be a Unicode string containing a sequence of zero or more reference tokens, each prefixed by a `/` character.
-json.exception.parse_error.108 | parse error: escape character '~' must be followed with '0' or '1' | In a JSON Pointer, only `~0` and `~1` are valid escape sequences.
-json.exception.parse_error.109 | parse error: array index 'one' is not a number | A JSON Pointer array index must be a number.
-json.exception.parse_error.110 | parse error at 1: cannot read 2 bytes from vector | When parsing CBOR or MessagePack, the byte vector ends before the complete value has been read.
-json.exception.parse_error.112 | parse error at 1: error reading CBOR; last byte: 0xF8 | Not all types of CBOR or MessagePack are supported. This exception occurs if an unsupported byte was read.
-json.exception.parse_error.113 | parse error at 2: expected a CBOR string; last byte: 0x98 | While parsing a map key, a value that is not a string has been read.
-json.exception.parse_error.114 | parse error: Unsupported BSON record type 0x0F | The parsing of the corresponding BSON record type is not implemented (yet).
-
-@note For an input with n bytes, 1 is the index of the first character and n+1
-      is the index of the terminating null byte or the end of file. This also
-      holds true when reading a byte vector (CBOR or MessagePack).

-json.exception.invalid_iterator.202 | iterator does not fit current value | In an erase or insert function, the passed iterator @a pos does not belong to the JSON value for which the function was called. It hence does not define a valid position for the deletion/insertion.
-json.exception.invalid_iterator.203 | iterators do not fit current value | Either iterator passed to function @ref erase(IteratorType first, IteratorType last) does not belong to the JSON value from which values shall be erased. It hence does not define a valid range to delete values from.
-json.exception.invalid_iterator.204 | iterators out of range | When an iterator range for a primitive type (number, boolean, or string) is passed to a constructor or an erase function, this range has to be exactly (@ref begin(), @ref end()), because this is the only way the single stored value is expressed. All other ranges are invalid.
-json.exception.invalid_iterator.205 | iterator out of range | When an iterator for a primitive type (number, boolean, or string) is passed to an erase function, the iterator has to be the @ref begin() iterator, because it is the only way to address the stored value.

-json.exception.invalid_iterator.212 | cannot compare iterators of different containers | When two iterators are compared, they must belong to the same container.
-json.exception.invalid_iterator.213 | cannot compare order of object iterators | The order of object iterators cannot be compared, because JSON objects are unordered.

+    @brief a type for a packed binary type
+
+    This type is a type designed to carry binary data that appears in various
+    serialized formats, such as CBOR's Major Type 2, MessagePack's bin, and
+    BSON's generic binary subtype. This type is NOT a part of standard JSON and
+    exists solely for compatibility with these binary types. As such, it is
+    simply defined as an ordered sequence of zero or more byte values.
+
+    Additionally, as an implementation detail, the subtype of the binary data is
+    carried around as a `std::uint8_t`, which is compatible with both of the
+    binary data formats that use binary subtyping, (though the specific
+    numbering is incompatible with each other, and it is up to the user to
+    translate between them).
+
+    [CBOR's RFC 7049](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7049) describes this type
+    as:
+    > Major type 2: a byte string. The string's length in bytes is represented
+    > following the rules for positive integers (major type 0).
+
+    [MessagePack's documentation on the bin type
+    family](https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack/blob/master/spec.md#bin-format-family)
+    describes this type as:
+    > Bin format family stores an byte array in 2, 3, or 5 bytes of extra bytes
+    > in addition to the size of the byte array.
+
+    [BSON's specifications](http://bsonspec.org/spec.html) describe several
+    binary types; however, this type is intended to represent the generic binary
+    type which has the description:
+    > Generic binary subtype - This is the most commonly used binary subtype and
+    > should be the 'default' for drivers and tools.
+
+    None of these impose any limitations on the internal representation other
+    than the basic unit of storage be some type of array whose parts are
+    decomposable into bytes.
+
+    The default representation of this binary format is a
+    `std::vector<std::uint8_t>`, which is a very common way to represent a byte
+    array in modern C++.
+
+    #### Default type
+
+    The default values for @a BinaryType is `std::vector<std::uint8_t>`
+
+    #### Storage
+
+    Binary Arrays are stored as pointers in a @ref basic_json type. That is,
+    for any access to array values, a pointer of the type `binary_t*` must be
+    dereferenced.
+
+    #### Notes on subtypes
+
+    - CBOR
+       - Binary values are represented as byte strings. No subtypes are
+         supported and will be ignored when CBOR is written.
+    - MessagePack
+       - If a subtype is given and the binary array contains exactly 1, 2, 4, 8,
+         or 16 elements, the fixext family (fixext1, fixext2, fixext4, fixext8)
+         is used. For other sizes, the ext family (ext8, ext16, ext32) is used.
+         The subtype is then added as singed 8-bit integer.
+       - If no subtype is given, the bin family (bin8, bin16, bin32) is used.
+    - BSON
+       - If a subtype is given, it is used and added as unsigned 8-bit integer.
+       - If no subtype is given, the generic binary subtype 0x00 is used.

-    @brief deserialize from an iterator range with contiguous storage
-
-    This function reads from an iterator range of a container with contiguous
-    storage of 1-byte values. Compatible container types include
-    `std::vector`, `std::string`, `std::array`, `std::valarray`, and
-    `std::initializer_list`. Furthermore, C-style arrays can be used with
-    `std::begin()`/`std::end()`. User-defined containers can be used as long
-    as they implement random-access iterators and a contiguous storage.
-
-    @pre The iterator range is contiguous. Violating this precondition yields
-    undefined behavior. **This precondition is enforced with an assertion.**
-    @pre Each element in the range has a size of 1 byte. Violating this
-    precondition yields undefined behavior. **This precondition is enforced
-    with a static assertion.**
-
-    @warning There is no way to enforce all preconditions at compile-time. If
-             the function is called with noncompliant iterators and with
-             assertions switched off, the behavior is undefined and will most
-             likely yield segmentation violation.
-
-    @tparam IteratorType iterator of container with contiguous storage
-    @param[in] first  begin of the range to parse (included)
-    @param[in] last  end of the range to parse (excluded)
-    @param[in] cb  a parser callback function of type @ref parser_callback_t
-    which is used to control the deserialization by filtering unwanted values
-    (optional)
-    @param[in] allow_exceptions  whether to throw exceptions in case of a
-    parse error (optional, true by default)
-
-    @return result of the deserialization
-
-    @throw parse_error.101 in case of an unexpected token
-    @throw parse_error.102 if to_unicode fails or surrogate error
-    @throw parse_error.103 if to_unicode fails
-
-    @complexity Linear in the length of the input. The parser is a predictive
-    LL(1) parser. The complexity can be higher if the parser callback function
-    @a cb has a super-linear complexity.
-
-    @note A UTF-8 byte order mark is silently ignored.
