+ * succeed in removing all duplication, but it has greatly simplified the
+ * implementation of a new Adapter by encapsulating the type-casting semantics
+ * and a lot of the trivial functionality associated with the Adapter interface.
+ *
+ * By inheriting from this template class, Adapter implementations will inherit
+ * the exception throwing behaviour that is expected by other parts of the
+ * Valijson library.

+ *                            specialised.
+ * @tparam  ArrayType         Name of the type that will be returned by the
+ *                            getArray() function. Instances of this type should
+ *                            provide begin(), end() and size() functions so
+ *                            that it is possible to iterate over the values in
+ *                            the array.
+ * @tparam  ObjectMemberType  Name of the type exposed when iterating over the
+ *                            contents of an object returned by getObject().
+ * @tparam  ObjectType        Name of the type that will be returned by the
+ *                            getObject() function. Instances of this type
+ *                            should provide begin(), end(), find() and size()
+ *                            functions so that it is possible to iterate over
+ *                            the members of the object.
+ * @tparam  ValueType         Name of the type that provides a consistent
+ *                            interface to a JSON value for a parser. For
+ *                            example, this type should provide the getDouble()
+ *                            and isDouble() functions. But it does not need to
+ *                            know how to cast values from one type to another -

+ * character sequences defined in the RFC-6901 (JSON Pointer), and to decode
+ * %-encoded character sequences defined in RFC-3986 (URI).
+ *
+ * The encoding used in RFC-3986 should be familiar to many developers, but
+ * the escaped character sequences used in JSON Pointers may be less so. From
+ * the JSON Pointer specification (RFC 6901, April 2013):
+ *
+ *    Evaluation of each reference token begins by decoding any escaped
+ *    character sequence.  This is performed by first transforming any
+ *    occurrence of the sequence '~1' to '/', and then transforming any
+ *    occurrence of the sequence '~0' to '~'.  By performing the
+ *    substitutions in this order, an implementation avoids the error of
+ *    turning '~01' first into '~1' and then into '/', which would be
+ *    incorrect (the string '~01' correctly becomes '~1' after
+ *    transformation).
+ *

+ * @param   end    iterator pointing to one character past the end of the token
