// json::member is a pair of values. The key value (member.first) should always
// be a STRING type. We don't use string_view directly in member.first because
// json::value can take ownership of a string or use a literal depending on
// the circumstance and it's more consistent this way.
//
// json::member, like json::value, is a runtime construct though still very
// lightweight and useful for non-deterministic composition to and extraction
// from JSON strings.

#define HAVE_IRCD_JSON_VALUE_H
// The ircd::json::value is used if we have to keep state in machine-form
// rather than directly computing JSON strings. This class ends up being useful
// for recursive initializer_lists to compose JSON from machine values. It
// is lightweight, consuming the space of two pointers which is the same size
// as a string_view.
// The ircd::json::value is used if we have to keep non-deterministic runtime
// state of values apropos a JSON object. In other words, value is runtime-
// typed rather than the json::tuple which is compile-time typed. The cost of
// using this value structure is in the switching based on the type enum it
// stores as well as a branch in the destructor to deallocate owned resources.
// This is still very lightweight. The structure itself is the same size as
// a string_view (two pointers). It is also not template-based, allowing us
// to keep logic in the definition files and out of the headers. Nevertheless,
// this class should not be abused over an alternative compile-time solution.
//
// Value cannot be copied because it can own resources, and recursively. The
// resource ownership is necessary in cases like nested initializer_lists
// and other such complex compositions.
