+    @brief a user-defined exception class
+
+    To implement user-defined exceptions for the library, this class is used
+    as subclass for different exception types. Compared to `std::exception`,
+    the class also contains an error code to better reference and document
+    exceptions.
+
+    error code | exception type | message | description
+    ---------- | -------------- | ------- | -----------
+    101 | @ref invalid_iterator | "iterators are not compatible" | The iterators passed to constructor @ref basic_json(InputIT first, InputIT last) are not compatible, meaning they do not belong to the same container. Therefore, the range (@a first, @a last) is invalid.
+    102 | @ref invalid_iterator | "iterators do not fit current value" | Either iterator passed to function @ref erase(InteratorType first, InteratorType last) does not belong to the JSON value from which values shall be erased. It hence does not define a valid range to delete values from.
+    103 | @ref invalid_iterator | "iterator does not fit current value" | In an erase or insert function, the passed iterator @a pos does not belong to the JSON value for which the function was called. It hence does not define a valid position for the deletion/insertion.
+    104 | @ref invalid_iterator | "iterators out of range" | When an iterator range for a primitive type (number, boolean, or string) is passed to a constructor or an erase function, this range has to be exactly (@ref begin(), @ref end()), because this is the only way the single stored value is expressed. All other ranges are invalid.
+    105 | @ref invalid_iterator | "iterator out of range" | When an iterator for a primitive type (number, boolean, or string) is passed to an erase function, the iterator has to be the @ref begin() iterator, because it is the only way to address the stored value. All other iterators are invalid.
+    106 | @ref invalid_iterator | "cannot construct with iterators from null" | The iterators passed to constructor @ref basic_json(InputIT first, InputIT last) belong to a JSON null value and hence to not define a valid range.
+    107 | @ref invalid_iterator | "cannot use key() for non-object iterators" | The key() member function can only be used on iterators belonging to a JSON object, because other types do not have a concept of a key.
+    108 | @ref invalid_iterator | "cannot use operator[] for object iterators" | The operator[] to specify a concrete offset cannot be used on iterators belonging to a JSON object, because JSON objects are unordered.
+    109 | @ref invalid_iterator | "cannot use offsets with object iterators" | The offset operators (+, -, +=, -=) cannot be used on iterators belonging to a JSON object, because JSON objects are unordered.
+    110 | @ref invalid_iterator | "iterators do not fit" | The iterator range passed to the insert function are not compatible, meaning they do not belong to the same container. Therefore, the range (@a first, @a last) is invalid.
+    111 | @ref invalid_iterator | "passed iterators may not belong to container" | The iterator range passed to the insert function must not be a subrange of the container to insert to.
+    112 | @ref invalid_iterator | "cannot compare iterators of different containers" | When two iterators are compared, they must belong to the same container.
+    113 | @ref invalid_iterator | "cannot compare order of object iterators" | The order of object iterators cannot be compated, because JSON objects are unordered.
+    114 | @ref invalid_iterator | "cannot get value" | Cannot get value for iterator: Either the iterator belongs to a null value or it is an iterator to a primitive type (number, boolean, or string), but the iterator is different to @ref begin().

+    @brief a user-defined exception class
+
+    To implement user-defined exceptions for the library, this class is used
+    as subclass for different exception types. Compared to `std::exception`,
+    the class also contains an error code to better reference and document
+    exceptions.
+
+    error code | exception type | message | description
+    ---------- | -------------- | ------- | -----------
+    101 | @ref invalid_iterator | "iterators are not compatible" | The iterators passed to constructor @ref basic_json(InputIT first, InputIT last) are not compatible, meaning they do not belong to the same container. Therefore, the range (@a first, @a last) is invalid.
+    102 | @ref invalid_iterator | "iterators do not fit current value" | Either iterator passed to function @ref erase(InteratorType first, InteratorType last) does not belong to the JSON value from which values shall be erased. It hence does not define a valid range to delete values from.
+    103 | @ref invalid_iterator | "iterator does not fit current value" | In an erase or insert function, the passed iterator @a pos does not belong to the JSON value for which the function was called. It hence does not define a valid position for the deletion/insertion.
+    104 | @ref invalid_iterator | "iterators out of range" | When an iterator range for a primitive type (number, boolean, or string) is passed to a constructor or an erase function, this range has to be exactly (@ref begin(), @ref end()), because this is the only way the single stored value is expressed. All other ranges are invalid.
+    105 | @ref invalid_iterator | "iterator out of range" | When an iterator for a primitive type (number, boolean, or string) is passed to an erase function, the iterator has to be the @ref begin() iterator, because it is the only way to address the stored value. All other iterators are invalid.
+    106 | @ref invalid_iterator | "cannot construct with iterators from null" | The iterators passed to constructor @ref basic_json(InputIT first, InputIT last) belong to a JSON null value and hence to not define a valid range.
+    107 | @ref invalid_iterator | "cannot use key() for non-object iterators" | The key() member function can only be used on iterators belonging to a JSON object, because other types do not have a concept of a key.
+    108 | @ref invalid_iterator | "cannot use operator[] for object iterators" | The operator[] to specify a concrete offset cannot be used on iterators belonging to a JSON object, because JSON objects are unordered.
+    109 | @ref invalid_iterator | "cannot use offsets with object iterators" | The offset operators (+, -, +=, -=) cannot be used on iterators belonging to a JSON object, because JSON objects are unordered.
+    110 | @ref invalid_iterator | "iterators do not fit" | The iterator range passed to the insert function are not compatible, meaning they do not belong to the same container. Therefore, the range (@a first, @a last) is invalid.
+    111 | @ref invalid_iterator | "passed iterators may not belong to container" | The iterator range passed to the insert function must not be a subrange of the container to insert to.
+    112 | @ref invalid_iterator | "cannot compare iterators of different containers" | When two iterators are compared, they must belong to the same container.
+    113 | @ref invalid_iterator | "cannot compare order of object iterators" | The order of object iterators cannot be compated, because JSON objects are unordered.
+    114 | @ref invalid_iterator | "cannot get value" | Cannot get value for iterator: Either the iterator belongs to a null value or it is an iterator to a primitive type (number, boolean, or string), but the iterator is different to @ref begin().
