a type for an array
RFC 7159 describes JSON arrays as follows:
An array is an ordered sequence of zero or more values.
To store objects in C++, a type is defined by the template parameters explained below.
- Template Parameters

ArrayType container type to store arrays (e.g., std::vectororstd::list)AllocatorType allocator to use for arrays (e.g., std::allocator)
Default type
With the default values for ArrayType (std::vector) and AllocatorType (std::allocator), the default value for array_t is:

RFC 7159 specifies:
An implementation may set limits on the maximum depth of nesting.
In this class, the array's limit of nesting is not constraint explicitly. However, a maximum depth of nesting may be introduced by the compiler or runtime environment. A theoretical limit can be queried by calling the max_size function of a JSON array.

a type for a number (floating-point)
RFC 7159 describes numbers as follows:
The representation of numbers is similar to that used in most programming languages. A number is represented in base 10 using decimal digits. It contains an integer component that may be prefixed with an optional minus sign, which may be followed by a fraction part and/or an exponent part. Leading zeros are not allowed. (...) Numeric values that cannot be represented in the grammar below (such as Infinity and NaN) are not permitted.
This description includes both integer and floating-point numbers. However, C++ allows more precise storage if it is known whether the number is a signed integer, an unsigned integer or a floating-point number. Therefore, three different types, number_integer_t, number_unsigned_t and number_float_t are used.
To store floating-point numbers in C++, a type is defined by the template parameter NumberFloatType which chooses the type to use.
Default type
With the default values for NumberFloatType (double), the default value for number_float_t is:
Default behavior
- The restrictions about leading zeros is not enforced in C++. Instead, leading zeros in floating-point literals will be ignored. Internally, the value will be stored as decimal number. For instance, the C++ floating-point literal
01.2will be serialized to1.2. During deserialization, leading zeros yield an error. - Not-a-number (NaN) values will be serialized to
null.
Limits
RFC 7159 states:
This specification allows implementations to set limits on the range and precision of numbers accepted. Since software that implements IEEE 754-2008 binary64 (double precision) numbers is generally available and widely used, good interoperability can be achieved by implementations that expect no more precision or range than these provide, in the sense that implementations will approximate JSON numbers within the expected precision.
This implementation does exactly follow this approach, as it uses double precision floating-point numbers. Note values smaller than -1.79769313486232e+308 and values greater than 1.79769313486232e+308 will be stored as NaN internally and be serialized to null.
Storage
Floating-point number values are stored directly inside a basic_json type.

To store integer numbers in C++, a type is defined by the template parameter NumberIntegerType which chooses the type to use.
Default type
With the default values for NumberIntegerType (int64_t), the default value for number_integer_t is:
Default behavior
- The restrictions about leading zeros is not enforced in C++. Instead, leading zeros in integer literals lead to an interpretation as octal number. Internally, the value will be stored as decimal number. For instance, the C++ integer literal
010will be serialized to8. During deserialization, leading zeros yield an error. - Not-a-number (NaN) values will be serialized to
null.
Limits
RFC 7159 specifies:
An implementation may set limits on the range and precision of numbers.
When the default type is used, the maximal integer number that can be stored is 9223372036854775807 (INT64_MAX) and the minimal integer number that can be stored is -9223372036854775808 (INT64_MIN). Integer numbers that are out of range will yield over/underflow when used in a constructor. During deserialization, too large or small integer numbers will be automatically be stored as number_unsigned_t or number_float_t.
RFC 7159 further states:
Note that when such software is used, numbers that are integers and are in the range
are interoperable in the sense that implementations will agree exactly on their numeric values.
As this range is a subrange of the exactly supported range [INT64_MIN, INT64_MAX], this class's integer type is interoperable.
Storage
Integer number values are stored directly inside a basic_json type.

a type for an object
RFC 7159 describes JSON objects as follows:
An object is an unordered collection of zero or more name/value pairs, where a name is a string and a value is a string, number, boolean, null, object, or array.
To store objects in C++, a type is defined by the template parameters described below.
- Template Parameters
-
ObjectType the container to store objects (e.g., std::maporstd::unordered_map)StringType the type of the keys or names (e.g., std::string). The comparison functionstd::less<StringType>is used to order elements inside the container.AllocatorType the allocator to use for objects (e.g., std::allocator)
Default type
With the default values for ObjectType (std::map), StringType (std::string), and AllocatorType (std::allocator), the default value for object_t is:
Behavior
The choice of object_t influences the behavior of the JSON class. With the default type, objects have the following behavior:
- When all names are unique, objects will be interoperable in the sense that all software implementations receiving that object will agree on the name-value mappings.
- When the names within an object are not unique, later stored name/value pairs overwrite previously stored name/value pairs, leaving the used names unique. For instance,
{"key": 1}and{"key": 2, "key": 1}will be treated as equal and both stored as{"key": 1}. - Internally, name/value pairs are stored in lexicographical order of the names. Objects will also be serialized (see dump) in this order. For instance,
{"b": 1, "a": 2}and{"a": 2, "b": 1}will be stored and serialized as{"a": 2, "b": 1}. - When comparing objects, the order of the name/value pairs is irrelevant. This makes objects interoperable in the sense that they will not be affected by these differences. For instance,
{"b": 1, "a": 2}and{"a": 2, "b": 1}will be treated as equal.
Limits
RFC 7159 specifies:
An implementation may set limits on the maximum depth of nesting.
In this class, the object's limit of nesting is not constraint explicitly. However, a maximum depth of nesting may be introduced by the compiler or runtime environment. A theoretical limit can be queried by calling the max_size function of a JSON object.
Storage
Objects are stored as pointers in a basic_json type. That is, for any access to object values, a pointer of type object_t* must be dereferenced.
- Since
- version 1.0.0
- Note
- The order name/value pairs are added to the object is not preserved by the library. Therefore, iterating an object may return name/value pairs in a different order than they were originally stored. In fact, keys will be traversed in alphabetical order as
std::mapwithstd::lessis used by default. Please note this behavior conforms to RFC 7159, because any order implements the specified "unordered" nature of JSON objects.
◆ parser_callback_t
| using nlohmann::basic_json< ObjectType, ArrayType, StringType, BooleanType, NumberIntegerType, NumberUnsignedType, NumberFloatType, AllocatorType >::parser_callback_t = std::function<bool(int depth, parse_event_t event, basic_json& parsed)> |
per-element parser callback type
With a parser callback function, the result of parsing a JSON text can be influenced. When passed to parse(std::istream&, parser_callback_t) or parse(const string_t&, parser_callback_t), it is called on certain events (passed as parse_event_t via parameter event) with a set recursion depth depth and context JSON value parsed. The return value of the callback function is a boolean indicating whether the element that emitted the callback shall be kept or not.
We distinguish six scenarios (determined by the event type) in which the callback function can be called. The following table describes the values of the parameters depth, event, and parsed.
| parameter event | description | parameter depth | parameter parsed |
|---|---|---|---|
| parse_event_t::object_start | the parser read { and started to process a JSON object | depth of the parent of the JSON object | a JSON value with type discarded |
| parse_event_t::key | the parser read a key of a value in an object | depth of the currently parsed JSON object | a JSON string containing the key |
| parse_event_t::object_end | the parser read } and finished processing a JSON object | depth of the parent of the JSON object | the parsed JSON object |
| parse_event_t::array_start | the parser read [ and started to process a JSON array | depth of the parent of the JSON array | a JSON value with type discarded |
| parse_event_t::array_end | the parser read ] and finished processing a JSON array | depth of the parent of the JSON array | the parsed JSON array |
| parse_event_t::value | the parser finished reading a JSON value | depth of the value | the parsed JSON value |
Discarding a value (i.e., returning false) has different effects depending on the context in which function was called:
- Discarded values in structured types are skipped. That is, the parser will behave as if the discarded value was never read.
- In case a value outside a structured type is skipped, it is replaced with
null. This case happens if the top-level element is skipped.
- Parameters
-
[in] depth the depth of the recursion during parsing [in] event an event of type parse_event_t indicating the context in the callback function has been called [in,out] parsed the current intermediate parse result; note that writing to this value has no effect for parse_event_t::key events
- Returns
- Whether the JSON value which called the function during parsing should be kept (
true) or not (false). In the latter case, it is either skipped completely or replaced by an empty discarded object.

a type for a string
RFC 7159 describes JSON strings as follows:
A string is a sequence of zero or more Unicode characters.
To store objects in C++, a type is defined by the template parameter described below. Unicode values are split by the JSON class into byte-sized characters during deserialization.
- Template Parameters
-
StringType the container to store strings (e.g., std::string). Note this container is used for keys/names in objects, see object_t.
Default type
With the default values for StringType (std::string), the default value for string_t is:
String comparison
RFC 7159 states:
Software implementations are typically required to test names of object members for equality. Implementations that transform the textual representation into sequences of Unicode code units and then perform the comparison numerically, code unit by code unit, are interoperable in the sense that implementations will agree in all cases on equality or inequality of two strings. For example, implementations that compare strings with escaped characters unconverted may incorrectly find that
"a\\b"and"a\u005Cb"are not equal.
This implementation is interoperable as it does compare strings code unit by code unit.
Storage
String values are stored as pointers in a basic_json type. That is, for any access to string values, a pointer of type string_t* must be dereferenced.

create an integer number from an enum type (explicit)
Create an integer number JSON value with a given content.
- Parameters
-
[in] val an integer to create a JSON number from
- Note
- This constructor allows to pass enums directly to a constructor. As C++ has no way of specifying the type of an anonymous enum explicitly, we can only rely on the fact that such values implicitly convert to int. As int may already be the same type of number_integer_t, we may need to switch off the constructor basic_json(const number_integer_t).

create a container (array or object) from an initializer list
Creates a JSON value of type array or object from the passed initializer list init. In case type_deduction is true (default), the type of the JSON value to be created is deducted from the initializer list init according to the following rules:
- If the list is empty, an empty JSON object value
{}is created. - If the list consists of pairs whose first element is a string, a JSON object value is created where the first elements of the pairs are treated as keys and the second elements are as values.
- In all other cases, an array is created.
The rules aim to create the best fit between a C++ initializer list and JSON values. The rationale is as follows:
- The empty initializer list is written as
{}which is exactly an empty JSON object. - C++ has now way of describing mapped types other than to list a list of pairs. As JSON requires that keys must be of type string, rule 2 is the weakest constraint one can pose on initializer lists to interpret them as an object.
- In all other cases, the initializer list could not be interpreted as JSON object type, so interpreting it as JSON array type is safe.
With the rules described above, the following JSON values cannot be expressed by an initializer list:
- the empty array (
[]): use array(std::initializer_list<basic_json>) with an empty initializer list in this case - arrays whose elements satisfy rule 2: use array(std::initializer_list<basic_json>) with the same initializer list in this case
- Note
- When used without parentheses around an empty initializer list, basic_json() is called instead of this function, yielding the JSON null value.
- Parameters
-
[in] init initializer list with JSON values [in] type_deduction internal parameter; when set to true, the type of the JSON value is deducted from the initializer list init; when set tofalse, the type provided via manual_type is forced. This mode is used by the functions array(std::initializer_list<basic_json>) and object(std::initializer_list<basic_json>).[in] manual_type internal parameter; when type_deduction is set to false, the created JSON value will use the provided type (only value_t::array and value_t::object are valid); when type_deduction is set totrue, this parameter has no effect
- Exceptions
-
std::domain_error if type_deduction is false, manual_type isvalue_t::object, but init contains an element which is not a pair whose first element is a string; example:"cannot create object from initializer list"

construct a JSON container given an iterator range
Constructs the JSON value with the contents of the range [first, last). The semantics depends on the different types a JSON value can have:
- In case of primitive types (number, boolean, or string), first must be
begin()and last must beend(). In this case, the value is copied. Otherwise, std::out_of_range is thrown. - In case of structured types (array, object), the constructor behaves as similar versions for

Creates a JSON array value from a given initializer list. That is, given a list of values a, b, c, creates the JSON value [a, b, c]. If the initializer list is empty, the empty array [] is created.
- Note
- This function is only needed to express two edge cases that cannot be realized with the initializer list constructor (basic_json(std::initializer_list<basic_json>, bool, value_t)). These cases are:
- creating an array whose elements are all pairs whose first element is a string – in this case, the initializer list constructor would create an object, taking the first elements as keys
- creating an empty array – passing the empty initializer list to the initializer list constructor yields an empty object

remove element given an iterator
Removes the element specified by iterator pos. The iterator pos must be valid and dereferenceable. Thus the end() iterator (which is valid, but is not dereferenceable) cannot be used as a value for pos.
If called on a primitive type other than null, the resulting JSON value will be null.
- Parameters
-
[in] pos iterator to the element to remove
- Returns
- Iterator following the last removed element. If the iterator pos refers to the last element, the
end()iterator is returned.
- Template Parameters
-
InteratorType an iterator or const_iterator
- Postcondition
- Invalidates iterators and references at or after the point of the erase, including the
end()iterator.

comparison: equal
The functions compares the given JSON value against a null pointer. As the null pointer can be used to initialize a JSON value to null, a comparison of JSON value v with a null pointer should be equivalent to call v.is_null().
- Parameters
-
[in] v JSON value to consider
- Returns
- whether v is null
@complexity Constant.

comparison: greater than
Compares whether one JSON value lhs is greater than another JSON value by calculating not (lhs <= rhs).
- Parameters
-
[in] lhs first JSON value to consider [in] rhs second JSON value to consider
- Returns
- whether lhs is greater than to rhs

serialize to stream
serialize to stream Serialize the given JSON value j to the output stream o. The JSON value will be serialized using the dump member function. The indentation of the output can be controlled with the member variable width of the output stream o. For instance, using the manipulator std::setw(4) on o sets the indentation level to 4 and the serialization result is the same as calling dump(4).
- Parameters
-
[in,out] o stream to serialize to [in] j JSON value to serialize
- Returns
- the stream o
@complexity Linear.

deserialize from stream
deserialize from stream Deserializes an input stream to a JSON value.
- Parameters
-
[in,out] i input stream to read a serialized JSON value from [in,out] j JSON value to write the deserialized input to
- Exceptions
-
std::invalid_argument in case of parse errors
@complexity Linear in the length of the input. The parser is a predictive LL(1) parser.
- Note
- A UTF-8 byte order mark is silently ignored.
