◆ operator[]() [7/8]
template<typename T >
reference nlohmann::basic_json::operator[] |
( |
T * |
key | ) |
|
|
inline |
Returns a reference to the element at with specified key key.
- Note
- If key is not found in the object, then it is silently added to the object and filled with a
null value to make key a valid reference. In case the value was null before, it is converted to an object.
- Parameters
-
[in] | key | key of the element to access |
- Returns
- reference to the element at key key
- Exceptions
-
type_error.305 | if the JSON value is not an object or null; in that cases, using the [] operator with a key makes no sense. |
- Complexity
- Logarithmic in the size of the container.
- Example
- The example below shows how object elements can be read and written using the
[] operator.
3 #include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
12 { "one", 1}, { "two", 2}, { "three", 2.9}
16 std::cout << object[ "two"] << "\n\n";
22 std::cout << std::setw(4) << object << "\n\n";
28 object[ "five"][ "really"][ "nested"] = true;
31 std::cout << std::setw(4) << object << '\n';
Output (play with this example online): 2
{
"one": 1,
"three": 3,
"two": 2
}
{
"five": {
"really": {
"nested": true
}
},
"four": null,
"one": 1,
"three": 3,
"two": 2
}
