 @brief comparison operator for JSON types
 
 Returns an ordering that is similar to Python:
-- order: null < boolean < number < object < array < string
+- order: null < boolean < number < object < array < string < binary
 - furthermore, each type is not smaller than itself
 - discarded values are not comparable
+- binary is represented as a b"" string in python and directly comparable to a

+This class implements the @ref json_sax interface and processes the SAX events
+to create a JSON value which makes it basically a DOM parser. The structure or
+hierarchy of the JSON value is managed by the stack `ref_stack` which contains
+a pointer to the respective array or object for each recursion depth.
+
+After successful parsing, the value that is passed by reference to the
+constructor contains the parsed value.

-[BidirectionalIterator](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/BidirectionalIterator):
-  The iterator that can be moved can be moved in both directions (i.e.
-  incremented and decremented).

-@since version 1.0.0, simplified in version 2.0.9, change to bidirectional
-       iterators in version 3.0.0 (see https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/593)

-@brief a template for a reverse iterator class

-@tparam Base the base iterator type to reverse. Valid types are @ref
-iterator (to create @ref reverse_iterator) and @ref const_iterator (to
-create @ref const_reverse_iterator).
-
-@requirement The class satisfies the following concept requirements:
--
-[BidirectionalIterator](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/BidirectionalIterator):
-  The iterator that can be moved can be moved in both directions (i.e.
-  incremented and decremented).
-- [OutputIterator](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/OutputIterator):
-  It is possible to write to the pointed-to element (only if @a Base is
-  @ref iterator).

+@brief a template for a bidirectional iterator for the @ref basic_json class
+This class implements a both iterators (iterator and const_iterator) for the
+@ref basic_json class.
+@note An iterator is called *initialized* when a pointer to a JSON value has
+      been set (e.g., by a constructor or a copy assignment). If the iterator is
+      default-constructed, it is *uninitialized* and most methods are undefined.
+      **The library uses assertions to detect calls on uninitialized iterators.**
+@requirement The class satisfies the following concept requirements:
+-
+[BidirectionalIterator](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/BidirectionalIterator):
+  The iterator that can be moved can be moved in both directions (i.e.
+  incremented and decremented).
+@since version 1.0.0, simplified in version 2.0.9, change to bidirectional
+       iterators in version 3.0.0 (see https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/593)

+create @ref const_reverse_iterator).
+
+@requirement The class satisfies the following concept requirements:
+-
+[BidirectionalIterator](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/BidirectionalIterator):
+  The iterator that can be moved can be moved in both directions (i.e.
+  incremented and decremented).
+- [OutputIterator](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/OutputIterator):
+  It is possible to write to the pointed-to element (only if @a Base is

+    @brief a type for a packed binary type
+
+    This type is a type designed to carry binary data that appears in various
+    serialized formats, such as CBOR's Major Type 2, MessagePack's bin, and
+    BSON's generic binary subtype. This type is NOT a part of standard JSON and
+    exists solely for compatibility with these binary types. As such, it is
+    simply defined as an ordered sequence of zero or more byte values.
+
+    Additionally, as an implementation detail, the subtype of the binary data is
+    carried around as a `std::uint8_t`, which is compatible with both of the
+    binary data formats that use binary subtyping, (though the specific
+    numbering is incompatible with each other, and it is up to the user to
+    translate between them).
+
+    [CBOR's RFC 7049](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7049) describes this type
+    as:
+    > Major type 2: a byte string. The string's length in bytes is represented
+    > following the rules for positive integers (major type 0).
+
+    [MessagePack's documentation on the bin type
+    family](https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack/blob/master/spec.md#bin-format-family)
+    describes this type as:
+    > Bin format family stores an byte array in 2, 3, or 5 bytes of extra bytes
+    > in addition to the size of the byte array.
+
+    [BSON's specifications](http://bsonspec.org/spec.html) describe several
+    binary types; however, this type is intended to represent the generic binary
+    type which has the description:
+    > Generic binary subtype - This is the most commonly used binary subtype and
+    > should be the 'default' for drivers and tools.
+
+    None of these impose any limitations on the internal representation other
+    than the basic unit of storage be some type of array whose parts are
+    decomposable into bytes.
+
+    The default representation of this binary format is a
+    `std::vector<std::uint8_t>`, which is a very common way to represent a byte
+    array in modern C++.
+
+    #### Default type
+
+    The default values for @a BinaryType is `std::vector<std::uint8_t>`
+
+    #### Storage
+
+    Binary Arrays are stored as pointers in a @ref basic_json type. That is,
+    for any access to array values, a pointer of the type `binary_t*` must be
+    dereferenced.
+
+    #### Notes on subtypes
+
+    - CBOR
+       - Binary values are represented as byte strings. No subtypes are
+         supported and will be ignored when CBOR is written.
+    - MessagePack
+       - If a subtype is given and the binary array contains exactly 1, 2, 4, 8,
+         or 16 elements, the fixext family (fixext1, fixext2, fixext4, fixext8)
+         is used. For other sizes, the ext family (ext8, ext16, ext32) is used.
+         The subtype is then added as singed 8-bit integer.
+       - If no subtype is given, the bin family (bin8, bin16, bin32) is used.
+    - BSON
+       - If a subtype is given, it is used and added as unsigned 8-bit integer.
+       - If no subtype is given, the generic binary subtype 0x00 is used.
