Detailed Description

Represents a JSON value.

This class is a discriminated union wrapper that can represents a:

• signed integer [range: Value::minInt - Value::maxInt]
• unsigned integer (range: 0 - Value::maxUInt)
• double
• UTF-8 string
• boolean
• 'null'
• an ordered list of Value
• collection of name/value pairs (javascript object)

The type of the held value is represented by a ValueType and can be obtained using type().

values of an objectValue or arrayValue can be accessed using operator[]() methods. Non const methods will automatically create the a nullValue element if it does not exist. The sequence of an arrayValue will be automatically resize and initialized with nullValue. resize() can be used to enlarge or truncate an arrayValue.

The get() methods can be used to obtanis default value in the case the required element does not exist.

It is possible to iterate over the list of a objectValue values using the getMemberNames() method.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Json::Value::Value

(

ValueType

type = nullValue

)

Create a default Value of the given type.

This is a very useful constructor. To create an empty array, pass arrayValue. To create an empty object, pass objectValue. Another Value can then be set to this one by assignment. This is useful since clear() and resize() will not alter types.

Examples:

Json::Value null_value; // null
Json::Value arr_value(Json::arrayValue); // []
Json::Value obj_value(Json::objectValue); // {}

Json::Value::Value

(

value

)

Constructs a value from a static string.

Like other value string constructor but do not duplicate the string for internal storage. The given string must remain alive after the call to this constructor. Example of usage:

Json::Value aValue( StaticString("some text") );

Member Function Documentation

Value& Json::Value::append

(

object[code] = 1234;

Remove and return the named member.

const std::string &

key

(

UInt

size

Resize the array to size elements. New elements are initialized to null. May only be called on nullValue or arrayValue.

type() is arrayValue
