COMPILE-TIME JSON DESERIALIZATION IN C++

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

C++ doesn't directly support pattern matching like some languages, but template specialization can achieve similar results. This enables type-safe JSON deserialization at compile time. By employing constexpr functions and a lazy parsing approach, the deserialization process can occur at compile time, allowing for compile-time assertions on JSON data.
