assign() [1/2]

auto sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::JSON::assign	(	const String &	key,
		const JSON &	value
	)		-> void

This method sets or updates an object key. For example, an object can be updated to contain a new bar boolean member as follows:

#include <sourcemeta/jsontoolkit/json.h>
#include <cassert>
 
sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::JSON document =
  sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::parse("{ \"foo\": true }");
const sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::JSON value{false};
document.assign("bar", value);
assert(document.defines("foo"));
assert(document.defines("bar"));

assign() [2/2]

auto sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::JSON::assign	(	const String &	key,
		JSON &&	value
	)		-> void

This method sets or updates an object key. For example, an object can be updated to contain a new bar boolean member as follows:

#include <sourcemeta/jsontoolkit/json.h>
#include <cassert>
 
sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::JSON document =
  sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::parse("{ \"foo\": true }");
document.assign("bar", sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::JSON{false});
assert(document.defines("foo"));
assert(document.defines("bar"));

assign_if_missing() [1/2]

auto sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::JSON::assign_if_missing	(	const String &	key,
		const JSON &	value
	)		-> void

This method sets an object key if it is not already defined. For example:

#include <sourcemeta/jsontoolkit/json.h>
#include <cassert>
 
sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::JSON document =
  sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::parse("{ \"foo\": true }");
 
const sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::JSON value_1{1};
const sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::JSON value_2{2};
 
document.assign_if_missing("foo", value_1);
document.assign_if_missing("bar", value_2);
 
assert(document.defines("foo"));
assert(document.at("foo").is_boolean());
assert(document.defines("bar"));
assert(document.at("bar").is_integer());

assign_if_missing() [2/2]

auto sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::JSON::assign_if_missing	(	const String &	key,
		JSON &&	value
	)		-> void

#include <sourcemeta/jsontoolkit/json.h>
#include <cassert>
 
sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::JSON document =
  sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::parse("{ \"foo\": true }");
 
document.assign_if_missing("foo", sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::JSON{1});
document.assign_if_missing("bar", sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::JSON{2});
 
assert(document.defines("foo"));
assert(document.at("foo").is_boolean());
assert(document.defines("bar"));
assert(document.at("bar").is_integer());

at() [1/4]

auto sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::JSON::at

(

const String &

key

)

-> JSON &

This method retrieves an object element.

For example:

#include <sourcemeta/jsontoolkit/json.h>
#include <cassert>
 
sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::JSON my_object =
  sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::parse("{ \"foo\": 1, \"bar\": 2 }");
assert(my_object.at("bar").to_integer() == 2);

at() [2/4]

auto sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::JSON::at

(

const String &

key

)

const -> const JSON &

This method retrieves an object element.

For example:

#include <sourcemeta/jsontoolkit/json.h>
#include <cassert>
 
const sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::JSON my_object =
  sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::parse("{ \"foo\": 1, \"bar\": 2 }");
assert(my_object.at("bar").to_integer() == 2);

at() [3/4]

auto sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::JSON::at

(

const typename Array::size_type

index

)

-> JSON &

This method retrieves a element by its index. If the input JSON instance is an object, a property that corresponds to the stringified integer will be accessed.

For example:

#include <sourcemeta/jsontoolkit/json.h>
#include <cassert>
 
sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::JSON my_array =
  sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::parse("[ 1, 2 ]");
assert(my_array.at(1).to_integer() == 2);
 
sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::JSON my_object =
  sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::parse("{ \"1\": "foo" }");
assert(my_array.at(1).to_string() == "foo");

at() [4/4]

auto sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::JSON::at

(

const typename Array::size_type

index

)

const -> const JSON &

This method retrieves a element by its index. If the input JSON instance is an object, a property that corresponds to the stringified integer will be accessed.

For example:

auto sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::operator<<	(	std::basic_ostream< JSON::Char, JSON::CharTraits > &	stream,
		const JSON::Type	type
	)		-> std::basic_ostream< JSON::Char, JSON::CharTraits > &

Encode the input JSON type as a string into a given standard output stream. For example:

#include <sourcemeta/jsontoolkit/json.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
 
std::ostringstream stream;
stream << sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::JSON::Type::String;
// Will print "string"
std::cout << stream.str() << std::endl;

parse() [1/4]

auto sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::parse

(

const std::basic_string< JSON::Char, JSON::CharTraits > &

input

)

-> JSON

Create a JSON document from a JSON string. For example, a JSON document that represents an array can be parsed as follows:

#include <sourcemeta/jsontoolkit/json.h>
#include <cassert>
 
const sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::JSON document =
  sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::parse("[ 1, 2, 3 ]");
assert(document.is_array());

If parsing fails, sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::ParseError will be thrown.

auto sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::parse	(	const std::basic_string< JSON::Char, JSON::CharTraits > &	input,
		std::uint64_t &	line,
		std::uint64_t &	column
	)		-> JSON

Create a JSON document from a JSON string, passing your own line and column read/write position indicators. For example:

#include <sourcemeta/jsontoolkit/json.h>
#include <cassert>
 
std::uint64_t line{1};
std::uint64_t column{0};
const sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::JSON document =
  sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::parse("[ 1, 2, 3 ]", line, column);
assert(document.is_array());

parse() [3/4]

auto sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::parse

(

std::basic_istream< JSON::Char, JSON::CharTraits > &

stream

)

-> JSON

Create a JSON document from a C++ standard input stream. For example, a JSON document that represents an array can be parsed as follows:

#include <sourcemeta/jsontoolkit/json.h>
#include <cassert>
#include <sstream>
 
std::istringstream stream{"[ 1, 2, 3 ]"};
const sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::JSON document =
  sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::parse(stream);
assert(document.is_array());

If parsing fails, sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::ParseError will be thrown.

auto sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::parse	(	std::basic_istream< JSON::Char, JSON::CharTraits > &	stream,
		std::uint64_t &	line,
		std::uint64_t &	column
	)		-> JSON

Create a JSON document from a C++ standard input stream, passing your own line and column read/write position indicators. For example:

#include <sourcemeta/jsontoolkit/json.h>
#include <cassert>
#include <sstream>
 
std::istringstream stream{"[ 1, 2, 3 ]"};
std::uint64_t line{1};
std::uint64_t column{0};
const sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::JSON document =
  sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::parse(stream, line, column);
assert(document.is_array());

prettify() [1/2]

auto sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::prettify	(	const JSON &	document,
		std::basic_ostream< JSON::Char, JSON::CharTraits > &	stream
	)		-> void

Stringify the input JSON document into a given C++ standard output stream in pretty mode, indenting the output using 4 spaces. For example:

#include <sourcemeta/jsontoolkit/json.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
 
const sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::JSON document =
  sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::parse("[ 1, 2, 3 ]");
std::ostringstream stream;
sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::prettify(document, stream);
std::cout << stream.str() << std::endl;

prettify() [2/2]

auto sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::prettify	(	const JSON &	document,
		std::basic_ostream< JSON::Char, JSON::CharTraits > &	stream,
		const KeyComparison &	compare
	)		-> void

Stringify the input JSON document into a given C++ standard output stream in pretty mode, indenting the output using 4 spaces and sorting object properties on a specific criteria. For example:

#include <sourcemeta/jsontoolkit/json.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
 
auto key_compare(const sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::JSON::String &left,
                 const sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::JSON::String &right)
  -> bool {
  return left < right;
}
 
const sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::JSON document =
  sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::parse("{ \"foo\": 1, \"bar\": 2, \"baz\": 3 }");
std::ostringstream stream;
sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::prettify(document, stream, key_compare);
std::cout << stream.str() << std::endl;

read_file()

auto sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::read_file

(

const std::filesystem::path &

path

)

-> std::basic_ifstream< JSON::Char, JSON::CharTraits >

A convenience function to read a document from a file. For example:

#include <sourcemeta/jsontoolkit/json.h>
#include <cassert>
#include <iostream>
 
auto stream = sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::read_file("/tmp/foo.json");
const auto document = sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::parse(stream);
sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::stringify(document, std::cout);
std::cout << std::endl;

If parsing fails, sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::ParseError will be thrown.

auto sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::stringify	(	const JSON &	document,
		std::basic_ostream< JSON::Char, JSON::CharTraits > &	stream
	)		-> void

Stringify the input JSON document into a given C++ standard output stream in compact mode. For example:

#include <sourcemeta/jsontoolkit/json.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
 
const sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::JSON document =
  sourcemeta::jsontoolkit::parse("[ 1, 2, 3 ]");
