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 resized and initialized with nullValue. resize() can be used to enlarge or truncate an arrayValue.

The get() methods can be used to obtain 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.

Note: Value string-length fit in size_t, but keys must be < 2^30. (The reason is an implementation detail.) A CharReader will raise an exception if a bound is exceeded to avoid security holes in your app, but the Value API does not check bounds. That is the responsibility of the caller.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Value() [1/2]

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

Represents a JSON value.

Definition value.h:177

Json::arrayValue

@ arrayValue

array value (ordered list)

Definition value.h:100

Json::objectValue

@ objectValue

object value (collection of name/value pairs).

Definition value.h:101

◆ Value() [2/2]

Value ( const StaticString & 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.

Note: This works only for null-terminated strings. (We cannot change the size of this class, so we have nowhere to store the length, which might be computed later for various operations.)

Example of usage:

static StaticString foo("some text");

Json::Value aValue(foo);

Json::StaticString

Lightweight wrapper to tag static string.

Member Function Documentation

◆ append()

Value & append ( const Value & value )

Append value to array at the end.

Equivalent to jsonvalue[jsonvalue.size()] = value;

References Value(), and append().

Referenced by append().

◆ clear()

void clear ( )

Remove all object members and array elements.

Precondition: type() is arrayValue, objectValue, or nullValue

Postcondition: type() is unchanged

◆ demand()

Value const * demand	(	char const *	begin,
		char const *	end )

Most general and efficient version of object-mutators.

Note: As stated elsewhere, behavior is undefined if (end-begin) >= 2^30

Returns: non-zero, but JSON_ASSERT if this is neither object nor nullValue.

References Value().

◆ find()

Value const * find	(	char const *	begin,
		char const *	end ) const

Most general and efficient version of isMember()const, get()const, and operator[]const.

Note: As stated elsewhere, behavior is undefined if (end-begin) >= 2^30

◆ get() [1/3]

Value get	(	const char *	begin,
		const char *	end,
		const Value &	defaultValue ) const

Return the member named key if it exist, defaultValue otherwise.

Note: deep copy; key may contain embedded nulls.

References Value().

◆ get() [2/3]

Value get	(	const char *	key,

Note: deep copy

Parameters

key	may contain embedded nulls.

References Value(), and get().

◆ getMemberNames()

Members getMemberNames ( ) const

Return a list of the member names.

If null, return an empty list.

Precondition: type() is objectValue or nullValue

Postcondition: if type() was nullValue, it remains nullValue

References Json::JSONCPP_DEPRECATED().

◆ getString()

bool getString	(	char const **	begin,
		char const **	end ) const

Get raw char* of string-value.

Returns: false if !string. (Seg-fault if str or end are NULL.)

References Value().

◆ operator[]() [1/6]

Value & operator[] ( ArrayIndex index )

Access an array element (zero based index ).

If the array contains less than index element, then null value are inserted in the array so that its size is index+1. (You may need to say 'value[0u]' to get your compiler to distinguish this from the operator[] which takes a string.)

References Value().

References Value().

◆ operator[]() [5/6]

Value & operator[] ( const StaticString & key )
