## Requirements
The class satisfies the following concept requirements:
### Basic
- [DefaultConstructible](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/DefaultConstructible): JSON values can be default
constructed. The result will be a JSON null value.
- [MoveConstructible](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/MoveConstructible): A JSON value can be constructed
from an rvalue argument.
- [CopyConstructible](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/CopyConstructible): A JSON value can be
copy-constructed from an lvalue expression.
- [MoveAssignable](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/MoveAssignable): A JSON value van be assigned from an
rvalue argument.
- [CopyAssignable](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/CopyAssignable): A JSON value can be copy-assigned from
an lvalue expression.
- [Destructible](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/Destructible): JSON values can be destructed.
### Layout
- [StandardLayoutType](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/StandardLayoutType): JSON values have
[standard layout](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/data_members#Standard_layout): All non-static data
members are private and standard layout types, the class has no virtual functions or (virtual) base classes.
### Library-wide
- [EqualityComparable](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/EqualityComparable): JSON values can be compared with
`==`, see [`operator==`](operator_eq.md).
- [LessThanComparable](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/LessThanComparable): JSON values can be compared with
`<`, see [`operator<`](operator_le).
- [Swappable](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/Swappable): Any JSON lvalue or rvalue of can be swapped with
any lvalue or rvalue of other compatible types, using unqualified function `swap`.
- [NullablePointer](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/NullablePointer): JSON values can be compared against
`std::nullptr_t` objects which are used to model the `null` value.
### Container
- [Container](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/Container): JSON values can be used like STL containers and
provide iterator access.
- [ReversibleContainer](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/ReversibleContainer): JSON values can be used like
STL containers and provide reverse iterator access.
