## Exceptions
1. The function can throw the following exceptions:
- Throws [`type_error.305`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error305) if the JSON value is not an array or null; in that
cases, using the `[]` operator with an index makes no sense.
- Throws [`type_error.305`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error305) if the JSON value is not an array
or null; in that cases, using the `[]` operator with an index makes no sense.

3. The function can throw the following exceptions:
- Throws [`parse_error.106`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error106) if an array index in the passed JSON pointer `ptr`
begins with '0'.
- Throws [`parse_error.109`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error109) if an array index in the passed JSON pointer `ptr`
is not a number.
- Throws [`out_of_range.402`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range402) if the array index '-' is used in the passed JSON
pointer `ptr` for the const version.
- Throws [`out_of_range.404`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range404) if the JSON pointer `ptr` can not be resolved.
- Throws [`parse_error.106`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error106) if an array index in the passed
JSON pointer `ptr` begins with '0'.
- Throws [`parse_error.109`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error109) if an array index in the passed
JSON pointer `ptr` is not a number.

## Notes
!!! danger
1. If the element with key `idx` does not exist, the behavior is
undefined.
2. If the element with key `key` does not exist, the behavior is
undefined and is **guarded by an assertion**!

1. The non-const version may add values: If `idx` is beyond the range of the array (i.e., `idx >= size()`),
then the array is silently filled up with `#!json null` values to make `idx` a
valid reference to the last stored element.
In case the value was `#!json null` before, it is converted to an array.

3. `null` values are created in arrays and objects if necessary.
In particular:
- If the JSON pointer points to an object key that does not exist, it
is created an filled with a `null` value before a reference to it
is returned.
- If the JSON pointer points to an array index that does not exist, it
is created an filled with a `null` value before a reference to it
is returned. All indices between the current maximum and the given
index are also filled with `null`.
- The special value `-` is treated as a synonym for the index past the
end.

value before a reference to it is returned.
