Detailed Description

A single value in a JSON document.

This object lazily reads the data from the document when you call one of the conversion functions (asObject(), asArray(), asString(), asNumber(), or asBoolean()). This means that you must call one and only one of these function exaclty once. The only exception are JSON null values. For null values, there is no conversion function, and you do not need to call any function.

If you are not interested in the value, you can also call skip() to skip the entire value. In that case, you must not call any of the conversion functions.

JSON values can be moved but not copied
