// Unmarshal parses the JSON-encoded data and stores the result
// in the value pointed to by v.
//
// Unmarshal uses the inverse of the encodings that
// Marshal uses, allocating maps, slices, and pointers as necessary,
// with the following additional rules:
//
// To unmarshal JSON into a pointer, Unmarshal first handles the case of
// the JSON being the JSON literal null.  In that case, Unmarshal sets
// the pointer to nil.  Otherwise, Unmarshal unmarshals the JSON into
// the value pointed at by the pointer.  If the pointer is nil, Unmarshal
// allocates a new value for it to point to.
//
// To unmarshal JSON into an interface value, Unmarshal unmarshals
// the JSON into the concrete value contained in the interface value.
// If the interface value is nil, that is, has no concrete value stored in it,
// Unmarshal stores one of these in the interface value:
//
//	bool, for JSON booleans
//	float64, for JSON numbers
//	string, for JSON strings
//	[]interface{}, for JSON arrays
//	map[string]interface{}, for JSON objects
//	nil for JSON null
//
// If a JSON value is not appropriate for a given target type,
// or if a JSON number overflows the target type, Unmarshal
// skips that field and completes the unmarshalling as best it can.
// If no more serious errors are encountered, Unmarshal returns
// an UnmarshalTypeError describing the earliest such error.
