// JSONValueConverter converts a JSON value into a C++ struct in a
// lightweight way.
//
// Usage:
// For real examples, you may want to refer to _unittest.cc file.
//
// Assume that you have a struct like this:
//   struct Message {
//     int foo;
//     std::string bar;
//     static void RegisterJSONConverter(
//         JSONValueConverter<Message>* converter);
//   };
//
// And you want to parse a json data into this struct.  First, you
// need to declare RegisterJSONConverter() method in your struct.
//   // static
//   void Message::RegisterJSONConverter(
//       JSONValueConverter<Message>* converter) {
//     converter->RegisterIntField("foo", &Message::foo);
//     converter->RegisterStringField("bar", &Message::bar);
//   }
//
// Then, you just instantiate your JSONValueConverter of your type and call
// Convert() method.
//   Message message;
//   JSONValueConverter<Message> converter;
//   converter.Convert(json, &message);
//
// Convert() returns false when it fails.  Here "fail" means that the value is
// structurally different from expected, such like a string value appears
// for an int field.  Do not report failures for missing fields.
// Also note that Convert() will modify the passed |message| even when it
// fails for performance reason.
//
// For nested field, the internal message also has to implement the registration
// method.  Then, just use RegisterNestedField() from the containing struct's
// RegisterJSONConverter method.
//   struct Nested {
//     Message foo;
//     static void RegisterJSONConverter(...) {
//       ...
//       converter->RegisterNestedField("foo", &Nested::foo);
//     }
//   };
//
// For repeated field, we just assume std::vector for its container
// and you can put RegisterRepeatedInt or some other types.  Use
// RegisterRepeatedMessage for nested repeated fields.
//
// Sometimes JSON format uses string representations for other types such
// like enum, timestamp, or URL.  You can use RegisterCustomField method
// and specify a function to convert a StringPiece to your type.
//   bool ConvertFunc(const StringPiece& s, YourEnum* result) {
//     // do something and return true if succeed...
//   }
//   struct Message {
//     YourEnum ye;
//     ...
//     static void RegisterJSONConverter(...) {
//       ...
//       converter->RegsiterCustomField<YourEnum>(
//           "your_enum", &Message::ye, &ConvertFunc);
//     }
//   };
