 **Describe the bug**
-A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
+A clear and concise description of what the bug is. A bug is a failure to build with normal compiler settings or a misbehaviour: when running the code, you get a result that differs from the expected result from our documentation.
 
-A compiler or static-analyzer warning is not a bug.
+A compiler or static-analyzer warning is not a bug. It is possible with tools such as Visual Studio to require that rarely enabled warnings are considered errors. Do not report such cases as bugs. We do accept pull requests if you want to silence warnings issued by code analyzers, however.
 
 We are committed to providing good documentation. We accept the lack of documentation or a misleading documentation as a bug (a 'documentation bug').
 
+An unexpected poor software performance can be accepted as a bug (a 'performance bug').
+
 We accept the identification of an issue by a sanitizer or some checker tool (e.g., valgrind) as a bug, but you must first ensure that it is not a false positive.
 
-We recommend that you run your tests using different optimization levels.
+We recommend that you run your tests using different optimization levels. In particular, we recommend your run tests with the simdjson library and you code compiled in debug mode. The simdjson then sets the SIMDJSON_DEVELOPMENT_CHECKS macro to 1, and this triggers additional checks on your code and on the internals of the library. If possible, we recommend that you run tests with sanitizers (e.g., see [No more leaks with sanitize flags in gcc and clang](https://lemire.me/blog/2016/04/20/no-more-leaks-with-sanitize-flags-in-gcc-and-clang/)).  You can compile the library with sanitizers for debugging purposes (e.g., set SIMDJSON_SANITIZE to ON using CMake), but you should also turn on sanitizers on your own code. You may also use tools like valgrind or the commercial equivalent.
 
 Before reporting a bug, please ensure that you have read our documentation.

-# 0.5
-
-## Highlights
-
-Performance
-* Faster and simpler UTF-8 validation with the lookup4 algorithm https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson/pull/993
-* We improved the performance of simdjson under Visual Studio by about 25%. Users will still get better performance with clang-cl (+30%) but the gap has been reduced. https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson/pull/1031
-
-Code usability
-* In `parse_many`, when parsing streams of JSON documetns, we give to the users runtime control as to whether threads are used (via the parser.threaded attribute). https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson/issues/925
-* Prefixed public macros to avoid name clashes with other libraries. https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson/issues/1035
-* Better documentation regarding package managers (brew, MSYS2, conan, apt, vcpkg, FreeBSD package manager, etc.).
-* Better documentation regarding  CMake usage.
-
-Standards
-* We improved standard compliance with respect to both the JSON RFC 8259 and JSON Pointer RFC 6901. We added the at_pointer method to nodes for standard-compliant JSON Pointer queries. The legacy `at(std::string_view)` method remains but is deprecated since it is not standard-compliant as per  RFC 6901.
-* We removed computed GOTOs without sacrificing performance thus improving the C++ standard compliance (since computed GOTOs are compiler-specific extensions).
-* Better support for C++20 https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson/pull/1050
-
-# 0.4
-
-## Highlights
-
-- Test coverage has been greatly improved and we have resolved many static-analysis warnings on different systems.
-- We added a fast (8GB/s) minifier that works directly on JSON strings.
-- We added fast (10GB/s) UTF-8 validator that works directly on strings (any strings, including non-JSON).
-- The array and object elements have a constant-time size() method.
-- Performance improvements to the API (type(), get<>()).
-- The parse_many function (ndjson) has been entirely reworked. It now uses a single secondary thread instead of several new threads.
-- We have introduced a faster UTF-8 validation algorithm (lookup3) for all kernels (ARM, x64 SSE, x64 AVX).
-- C++11 support for older compilers and systems.
-- FreeBSD support (and tests).
-- We support the clang front-end compiler (clangcl) under Visual Studio.
-- It is now possible to target ARM platforms under Visual Studio.
-- The simdjson library will never abort or print to standard output/error.
-
-# 0.3
-
-## Highlights
-
-- **Multi-Document Parsing:** Read a bundle of JSON documents (ndjson) 2-4x faster than doing it
-  individually. [API docs](https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson/blob/master/doc/basics.md#newline-delimited-json-ndjson-and-json-lines) / [Design Details](https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson/blob/master/doc/parse_many.md)
-- **Simplified API:** The API has been completely revamped for ease of use, including a new JSON
-  navigation API and fluent support for error code *and* exception styles of error handling with a
-  single API. [Docs](https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson/blob/master/doc/basics.md#the-basics-loading-and-parsing-json-documents)
-- **Exact Float Parsing:** Now simdjson parses floats flawlessly *without* any performance loss,
-  thanks to [great work by @michaeleisel and @lemire](https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson/pull/558).
-  [Blog Post](https://lemire.me/blog/2020/03/10/fast-float-parsing-in-practice/)
-- **Even Faster:** The fastest parser got faster! With a [shiny new UTF-8 validator](https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson/pull/387)
-  and meticulously refactored SIMD core, simdjson 0.3 is 15% faster than before, running at 2.5 GB/s
-  (where 0.2 ran at 2.2 GB/s).
-
-## Minor Highlights
-
-- Fallback implementation: simdjson now has a non-SIMD fallback implementation, and can run even on
-  very old 64-bit machines.
-- Automatic allocation: as part of API simplification, the parser no longer has to be preallocated--
-  it will adjust automatically when it encounters larger files.
-- Runtime selection API: We've exposed simdjson's runtime CPU detection and implementation selection
-  as an API, so you can tell what implementation we detected and test with other implementations.
-- Error handling your way: Whether you use exceptions or check error codes, simdjson lets you handle
-  errors in your style. APIs that can fail return simdjson_result<T>, letting you check the error
-  code before using the result. But if you are more comfortable with exceptions, skip the error code
-  and cast straight to T, and exceptions will be thrown automatically if an error happens. Use the
-  same API either way!
-- Error chaining: We also worked to keep non-exception error-handling short and sweet. Instead of
-  having to check the error code after every single operation, now you can *chain* JSON navigation
-  calls like looking up an object field or array element, or casting to a string, so that you only
-  have to check the error code once at the very end.

We omit `try`-`catch` clauses from our illustrating examples: if you omit `try`-`catch` in your code, an uncaught exception will halt your program.

 The following specific instructions indicate how to use the JSON when exceptions are enabled, but simdjson has full, idiomatic
 support for users who avoid exceptions. See [the simdjson error handling documentation](basics.md#error-handling) for more.
 
 * **Validate What You Use:** When calling `iterate`, the document is quickly indexed. If it is
   not a valid Unicode (UTF-8) string or if there is an unclosed string, an error may be reported right away.
   However, it is not fully validated. On Demand only fully validates the values you use and the
-  structure leading to it.
+  structure leading to it. It means that at every step as you traverse the document, you may encounter an error. You can handle errors either with exceptions or with error codes.
 * **Extracting Values:** You can cast a JSON element to a native type:
   `double(element)`. This works for `std::string_view`, double, uint64_t, int64_t, bool,
   ondemand::object and ondemand::array. We also have explicit methods such as `get_string()`, `get_double()`,
   `get_uint64()`, `get_int64()`, `get_bool()`, `get_object()` and `get_array()`. After a cast or an explicit method,
-  the number, string or boolean will be parsed, or the initial `[` or `{` will be verified. An exception is thrown if
+  the number, string or boolean will be parsed, or the initial `{` or `[` will be verified for `ondemand::object` and `ondemand::array`. An exception may be thrown if
-  the cast is not possible.
+  the cast is not possible: there error code is `simdjson::INCORRECT_TYPE` (see [Error Handling](#error-handling)). Importantly, when getting an ondemand::object or ondemand::array instance, its content is
+  not validated: you are only guaranteed that the corresponding initial character (`{` or `[`) is present. Thus,
+  for example, you could have an ondemand::object instance pointing at the invalid JSON `{ "this is not a valid object" }`: the validation occurs as you access the content.
+  The `get_string()` returns a valid UTF-8 string, after
+  unescaping characters as needed: unmatched surrogate pairs are treated as an error unless you
+  pass `true` (`get_string(true)`) as a parameter to get replacement characters where errors
+  occur. If you somehow need to access non-UTF-8 strings in a lossless manner
+  (e.g., if you strings contain unpaired surrogates), you may use the `get_wobbly_string()` function to get a string in the [WTF-8 format](https://simonsapin.github.io/wtf-8).
+  When calling `get_uint64()` and `get_int64()`, if the number does not fit in a corresponding
+  64-bit integer type, it is also considered an error. When parsing numbers or other scalar values, the library checks
+  that the value is followed by an expected character, thus you *may* get a number parsing error when accessing the digits
+  as an integer in the following strings: `{"number":12332a`, `{"number":12332\0`, `{"number":12332` (the digits appear at the end). We always abide by the [RFC 8259](https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/201x/2017/12/14/rfc8259.html) JSON specification so that, for example, numbers prefixed by the `+` sign are in error.

   > parsed a value (such as by casting to double), you cannot get at it again. It is an error to call
   > `get_string()` twice on an object (or to cast an object twice to `std::string_view`).
 * **Field Access:** To get the value of the "foo" field in an object, use `object["foo"]`. This will
   scan through the object looking for the field with the matching string, doing a character-by-character
-  comparison. For efficiency reason, you should avoid looking up the same field repeatedly: e.g., do
+  comparison. It may generate the error `simdjson::NO_SUCH_FIELD` if there is no such key in the object, it may throw an exception (see [Error Handling](#error-handling)). For efficiency reason, you should avoid looking up the same field repeatedly: e.g., do
-  not do `object["foo"]` followed by `object["foo"]` with the same `object` instance. If you consume an
+  not do `object["foo"]` followed by `object["foo"]` with the same `object` instance. Keep in mind that On Demand does not buffer or save the result of the parsing: if you repeatedly access `object["foo"]`, then it must repeatedly seek the key and parse the content. The library does not provide a distinct function to check if a key is present, instead we recommend you attempt to access the key: e.g., by doing `ondemand::value val{}; if(!object["foo"].get(val)) {...}`, you have that `val` contains the requested value inside the if clause.  It is your responsibility as a user to temporarily keep a reference to the value (`auto v = object["foo"]`), or to consume the content and store it in your own data structures. If you consume an

+When there is no error, the error code `simdjson::SUCCESS`is returned: it evaluates as false as a Boolean.
 We have several error codes to indicate errors, they all evaluate to true as a Boolean: your software should not generally not depend on exact
 error codes. We may change the error codes in future releases and the exact error codes could vary depending on your system.
 
+Some errors are recoverable:
+
+* You may get the error `simdjson::INCORRECT_TYPE` after trying to convert a value to an incorrect type: e.g., you expected a number and try to convert the value to a number, but it is an array.
+* You may query a key from an object, but the key is missing in which case you get the error `simdjson::NO_SUCH_FIELD`: e.g., you call `obj["myname"]` and the object does not have a key `"myname"`.
+
+Other errors (e.g., `simdjson::INCOMPLETE_ARRAY_OR_OBJECT`) may indicate a fatal error and often follow from the fact that the document is not valid JSON. In which case, it is no longer possible to continue accessing the document: calling the method `is_alive()` on the document instance returns false. All following accesses will keep returning the same fatal error (e.g., `simdjson::INCOMPLETE_ARRAY_OR_OBJECT`).

 When you use the code without exceptions, it is your responsibility to check for error before using the
 result: if there is an error, the result value will not be valid and using it will caused undefined behavior. Most compilers should be able to help you if you activate the right
 set of warnings: they can identify variables that are written to but never otherwise accessed.

+Raw Strings
+-----------
+
+It is sometimes useful to have access to a raw (unescaped) string: we make available a
+minimalist `raw_json_string` data type which contains a pointer inside the string in the
+original document, right after the quote. It is accessible via `get_raw_json_string()` on a
+string instance and returned by the `key()` method on an object's field instance. It is always
+optional: replacing `get_raw_json_string()` with `get_string()` and `key()` by
+`unescaped_key()` returns an `string_view` instance of the unescaped string.
+
+You can quickly compare a `raw_json_string` instance with a target string. You may also
+unescape  the `raw_json_string` on your own string buffer: `parser.unescape(mystr, ptr)`
+advances the provided pointer `ptr` and returns a string_view instance on the newly serialized
+string upon success, otherwise it returns an error. When unescaping to your own string buffer,
+you should ensure that you have sufficient memory space: the total size of the strings plus
+`simdjson::SIMDJSON_PADDING` bytes. The following example illustrates how we can unescape
+JSON string to a user-provided buffer:
+
+```C++
+    auto json = R"( {"name": "Jack The Ripper \u0033"} )"_padded;
+    // We create a buffer large enough to store all strings we need:
+    std::unique_ptr<uint8_t[]> buffer(new uint8_t[json.size() + simdjson::SIMDJSON_PADDING]);
+    uint8_t * ptr = buffer.get();
+    ondemand::parser parser;
+    ondemand::document doc = parser.iterate(json);
+    // We store our strings as 'string_view' instances in a vector:
+    std::vector<std::string_view> mystrings;
+    for (auto key_value : doc.get_object()) {
+      std::string_view keysv = parser.unescape(key_value.key(), ptr);// writes 'name'
+      mystrings.push_back(keysv);
+      std::string_view valuesv = parser.unescape(key_value.value().get_raw_json_string(), ptr);
+      // writes 'Jack The Ripper 3', escaping the \u0033
+      mystrings.push_back(valuesv);
+    }
+```
+
+
+General Direct Access to the Raw JSON String
+--------------------------------
+If your value is a string, the `raw_json_string` gives you direct access to the unprocess
+string. The simdjson library allows you to have access to the raw underlying JSON
+more generally.
+
+The simdjson library makes explicit assumptions about types. For examples, numbers
+must be integers (up to 64-bit integers) or binary64 floating-point numbers. Some users
+have different needs. For example, some users might want to support big integers.
+The library makes this possible by providing a `raw_json_token` method which returns
+a `std::string_view` instance containing the value as a string which you may then

+std::string_view token = obj["value"].raw_json_token();
+// token has value 12321323213213213213213213213211223, it points inside the input string
+```
+
+The `raw_json_token` method even works when the JSON value is a string. In such cases, it
+will return the complete string with the quotes and with eventual escaped sequences as in the
+source document.

+```C++

+// token has value "12321323213213213213213213213211223", it points inside the input string
+```
+
+The `raw_json_token()` should be fast and free of allocation.
+
+If you value is an array or an object, `raw_json_token()` returns effectively a single
+character (`[`) or (`}`) which is not very useful. For arrays and objects, we have another
+method called `raw_json()` which consumes (traverse) the array or the object.
+
+```C++
+simdjson::ondemand::parser parser;
+simdjson::padded_string docdata =  R"({"value":123})"_padded;
+simdjson::ondemand::document doc = parser.iterate(docdata);
+simdjson::ondemand::object obj = doc.get_object();
+string_view token = obj.raw_json(); // gives you `{"value":123}`
+```

+simdjson::padded_string docdata =  R"([1,2,3])"_padded;
+simdjson::ondemand::document doc = parser.iterate(docdata);
+simdjson::ondemand::array arr = doc.get_array();
+string_view token = arr.raw_json(); // gives you `[1,2,3]`
+```
+
+Because `raw_json()` consumes to object or the array, if you want to both have
+access to the raw string, and also use the array or object, you should call `reset()`.
+
+```C++
+simdjson::ondemand::parser parser;
+simdjson::padded_string docdata =  R"({"value":123})"_padded;
+simdjson::ondemand::document doc = parser.iterate(docdata);
+simdjson::ondemand::object obj = doc.get_object();

+Performance Tips
+--------
+
+
+- The On Demand front-end works best when doing a single pass over the input: avoid calling `count_elements`, `rewind` and similar methods.
+- If you are familiar with assembly language, you may use the online tool godbolt to explore the compiled code. The following example may work: [https://godbolt.org/z/xE4GWs573](https://godbolt.org/z/xE4GWs573).
+- Given a field `field` in an object, calling `field.key()` is often faster than `field.unescaped_key()` so if you do not need an unescaped `std::string_view` instance, prefer `field.key()`.
+- For release builds, we recommend setting `NDEBUG` pre-processor directive when compiling the `simdjson` library. Importantly, using the optimization flags `-O2` or `-O3` under GCC and LLVM clang does not set the `NDEBUG` directive, you must set it manually (e.g., `-DNDEBUG`).
+- For long streams of JSON documents, consider [`iterate_many`](iterate_many.md) and [`parse_many`](parse_many.md) for better performance.
+- Never seek to access a field twice (e.g., o["data"] and later again o["data"]). Instead capture once an ondemand::value and reuse it.
+- If you must access several different keys in an object, it might be preferable to iterate through all the fields in the object instead, and branch on the field keys.
+- If possible, refer to each object and array in your code once. For example, the following code repeatedly refers to the `"data"` key to create an object...
+	```C++
+	std::string_view make = o["data"]["make"];
+	std::string_view model = o["data"]["model"];
+	std::string_view year = o["data"]["year"];
+  ```
+  We expect that it is more efficient to access the `"data"` key once:
+  ```C++
+	simdjson::ondemand::object data = o["data"];
+	std::string_view model = data["model"];
+	std::string_view year = data["year"];
+	std::string_view rating = data["rating"];
+  ```
+- To better understand the operation of your On Demand parser, and whether it is performing as well as you think it should be, there is a  logger feature built in to simdjson! To use it, define the pre-processor directive `SIMDJSON_VERBOSE_LOGGING` prior to including the `simdjson.h` header, which enables logging in simdjson. Run your code. It may generate a lot of logging output; adding printouts from your application that show each section may be helpful. The log's output will show step-by-step information on state, buffer pointer position, depth, and key retrieval status. Importantly, unless `SIMDJSON_VERBOSE_LOGGING` is defined, logging is entirely disabled and thus carries no overhead.

 The parsed document resulting from the `parser.load` and `parser.parse` calls depends on the `parser` instance. Thus the `parser` instance must remain in scope. Furthermore, you must have at most one parsed document in play per `parser` instance.
 You cannot copy a `parser` instance, you may only move it.
 
-If you need to keep a document around long term, you can keep or move the parser instance. Note that moving a parser instance, or keeping one in a movable data structure like vector or map, can cause any outstanding `element`, `object` or `array` instances to be invalidated. If you need to store a parser in a movable data structure, you should use a `std::unique_ptr` to avoid this invalidation(e.g., `std::unique_ptr<dom::parser> parser(new dom::parser{})`).
+If you need to keep a document around long term, you can keep or move the parser instance. Note that moving a parser instance, or keeping one in a movable data structure like vector or map, can cause any outstanding `element`, `object` or `array` instances to be invalidated. The `element`, `object` or `array` instances are mere thin wrappers akin to an `std::vector<int>::iterator`: they are invalid when default constructed, they must be tied to a valid document instance. If you need to store a parser in a movable data structure, you should use a `std::unique_ptr` to avoid this invalidation(e.g., `std::unique_ptr<dom::parser> parser(new dom::parser{})`).
 
 During the`load` or `parse` calls, neither the input file nor the input string are ever modified. After calling `load` or `parse`, the source (either a file or a string) can be safely discarded. All of the JSON data is stored in the `parser` instance.  The parsed document is also immutable in simdjson: you do not modify it by accessing it.

 Setting the `realloc_if_needed` parameter `false` in this manner may lead to better performance since copies are avoided, but it requires that the user takes more responsibilities: the simdjson library cannot verify that the input buffer was padded with SIMDJSON_PADDING extra bytes.
