* docs: document that a NUL byte in the input is treated as end of input
A NUL byte anywhere in the input - trailing, or embedded ahead of more
otherwise well-formed JSON - is currently treated the same as genuine
end of input, so parsing silently stops there instead of raising the
parse_error.101 any other unexpected byte triggers. This mirrors the
NUL-terminated-C-string convention already used when no explicit input
length is given (json::parse(const char*) already stops at strlen()),
just applied uniformly rather than only when a length is genuinely
unavailable.
This behavior predates this change and is not being altered here -
changing it would be an observable, backwards-incompatible behavior
change for any caller that (knowingly or not) depends on it, which is
not something to do silently in a patch. Documenting the current,
verified behavior as a new FAQ entry instead, so it's an intentional
and discoverable part of the contract rather than a surprise.
Fixes#5530.

* Add JSON_STRICT_NUL_HANDLING opt-in macro for issue #5530
A NUL byte anywhere in the input is currently treated the same as real
end of input, rather than raising parse_error.101 like any other
unexpected byte (documented in the previous commit's FAQ entry). A full
unconditional fix was tried in PR #5532 but rejected as too risky to
ship by default: any caller could depend on the current behavior, even
unknowingly (e.g. a zero-padded buffer). On PR #5534, gregmarr proposed
a compile-time opt-in flag instead, and the maintainer agreed, wanting
it available now and defaulting to the corrected behavior in 4.0.0.
This mirrors the existing JSON_BRACE_INIT_COPY_SEMANTICS precedent as
closely as sensible:
- JSON_STRICT_NUL_HANDLING defaults to 0 (off); the three lexer sites
that treat '\0' as EOF/comment-terminator are gated with
`#if !JSON_STRICT_NUL_HANDLING` so the default-off behavior is
byte-for-byte identical to today's.
- input_adapters.hpp's `T (&array)[N]` overload additionally trims a
single trailing '\0' from a `char` array (e.g. a string literal like
`json::parse("123")`) when the macro is on, so that case keeps
working; every other element type (unsigned char, std::uint8_t, ...)
always keeps its full extent. This intentionally does *not* reuse the
existing strlen()-based pointer overload via SFINAE-excluding `char`
from the array overload, as originally sketched for this change: that
approach is ambiguous against the newer generic container overload
added since PR #5532, and even where it compiles, strlen()-scanning a
`char` array that is not NUL-terminated within its bounds reads past
the end of the array (confirmed with AddressSanitizer). Trimming only
a single trailing byte, without scanning, avoids both problems.
- Documented via docs/mkdocs/docs/api/macros/json_strict_nul_handling.md,
linked from the macros index/nav/features page, the FAQ entry, and
the parse/accept/operator>> reference pages.
- Tested in unit-class_parser.cpp and unit-deserialization.cpp, default
state unguarded and opt-in state guarded. Since the library itself
#undefs the macro at the end of json.hpp (as JSON_BRACE_INIT_COPY_SEMANTICS
already does), a plain `#if defined(JSON_STRICT_NUL_HANDLING)` guard
after the include never actually triggers; the tests instead capture
the command-line value into a test-local macro before including the
header. A few pre-existing fixtures elsewhere (std::array<uint8_t, N>
sized one larger than their literal, relying on value-initialization
to silently add a trailing zero byte) needed the same one-byte
adjustment to keep passing under the opt-in behavior.
Unlike the precedent, this adds a proper `JSON_StrictNulHandling` CMake
option (rather than a raw -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS injection) and wires its
ci_test_strict_nul_handling target into the ci_cmake_options job matrix
in .github/workflows/ubuntu.yml, so the opt-in build is actually
exercised in CI -- closing the one gap in the precedent's own CI setup
(ci_test_brace_init_copy_semantics is defined but never referenced by
any workflow, so it has never actually run).

* fix: treat single-element brace-init as copy/move
When passing a json value using brace initialization with a single element
(e.g., `json j{someObj}` or `foo({someJson})`), C++ always prefers the
initializer_list constructor over the copy/move constructor. This caused
the value to be unexpectedly wrapped in a single-element array.
This bug was previously compiler-dependent (GCC wrapped, Clang did not),
but Clang 20 started matching GCC behavior, making it a universal issue.
Fix: In the initializer_list constructor, when type deduction is enabled
and the list has exactly one element, copy/move it directly instead of
creating a single-element array.
Before:
json obj = {{"key", 1}};
json j{obj}; // -> [{"key":1}] (wrong: array)
foo({obj}); // -> [{"key":1}] (wrong: array)
After:
json j{obj}; // -> {"key":1} (correct: copy)
foo({obj}); // -> {"key":1} (correct: copy)
To explicitly create a single-element array, use json::array({value}).

* Fix: add JSON_BRACE_INIT_COPY_SEMANTICS opt-in macro for issue #5074
Single-element brace initialization wrapping in an array cannot be fixed without breaking existing code. Added JSON_BRACE_INIT_COPY_SEMANTICS as an opt-in macro (default 0) so users can enable copy/move semantics for single-element brace init without affecting anyone relying on the current behavior.

The previous version relied on the existence of an 'iterator' type.
As mentioned in comments, this is not the proper way to do it and
causes issues with certain types (e.g. views from range-v3).
Add a 'is_range' trait that properly detects the return type of
'begin'/'end', and use it in instead.
* Rename 'develop' folder to 'include/nlohmann'
* Rename 'src' folder to 'single_include/nlohmann'
