Json: "Custom data source" exemple make no sense

[imwhocodes]

"_Custom data source_" form readme exemple make no sense and does not compile (?)

1. copy exemple
2. paste
3. compile

Some _(I think are)_ problems:

1. MyIterator begin(MyContainer& tgt) { return MyIterator{&tgt}; } does not compile, stop some complaining only if MyContainer& tgt is const (const MyContainer& tgt) but this make it useless

1. reference operator*() const {return target.get_current(); } but target is a pointer (also null)

2. MyIterator& operator++() {MyContainer.advance(); return *this; } what is supposed to be MyContainer.advance(); static? reference? pointer?

• Can you compile the test suite?
• Can you share more code, like src/main.cpp?
