Class primitive_iterator_t

native/thirdpart/json/json.hpp:9173–9272

@brief an iterator for primitive JSON types This class models an iterator for primitive JSON types (boolean, number, string). It's only purpose is to allow the iterator/const_iterator classes to "iterate" over primitive values. Internally, the iterator is modeled by a `difference_type` variable. Value begin_value (`0`) models the begin, end_value (`1`) models past the end. */

end_value (`1`) models past the end.
