ℹ️ **This release introduced a regression. Please update to [version 3.6.1](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases/tag/v3.6.1)!**

This release adds some **convenience functions for JSON Pointers**, introduces a [`contains`](
http://nlohmann.github.io/json/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_a0a45fc740637123fdf05fef970f8be47.html#a0a45fc740637123fdf05fef970f8be47) function to check if a key is present in an object, and improves the **performance of integer serialization**. Furthermore, a lot of small bug fixes and improvements have been made. All changes are backward-compatible.

- Overworked the public interface for JSON Pointers. The creation of JSON Pointers is simplified with [`operator/`](

JSON Pointers can be inspected with [`empty`](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/classnlohmann_1_1json__pointer_a649252bda4a2e75a0915b11a25d8bcc3.html#a649252bda4a2e75a0915b11a25d8bcc3), [`back`](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/classnlohmann_1_1json__pointer_a6bd5b554c10f15672135c216893eef31.html#a6bd5b554c10f15672135c216893eef31),  and [`parent_pointer`](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/classnlohmann_1_1json__pointer_afdaacce1edb7145e0434e014f0e8685a.html#afdaacce1edb7145e0434e014f0e8685a), and manipulated with [`push_back`](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/classnlohmann_1_1json__pointer_a697d12b5bd6205f8866691b166b7c7dc.html#a697d12b5bd6205f8866691b166b7c7dc) and [`pop_back`](http://nlohmann.github.io/json/classnlohmann_1_1json__pointer_a4b1ee4d511ca195bed896a3da47e264c.html#a4b1ee4d511ca195bed896a3da47e264c). #1434
