nlohmann::basic_json::from_bson

// (1)
template<typename InputType>
static basic_json from_bson(InputType&& i,
                            const bool strict = true,
                            const bool allow_exceptions = true);
// (2)
template<typename IteratorType>
static basic_json from_bson(IteratorType first, IteratorType last,
                            const bool strict = true,
                            const bool allow_exceptions = true);

Deserializes a given input to a JSON value using the BSON (Binary JSON) serialization format.

  1. Reads from a compatible input.
  2. Reads from an iterator range.

The exact mapping and its limitations is described on a dedicated page.

Template parameters

InputType
A compatible input, for instance:
  • an std::istream object
  • a FILE pointer
  • a C-style array of characters
  • a pointer to a null-terminated string of single byte characters
  • an object obj for which begin(obj) and end(obj) produces a valid pair of iterators.
IteratorType
a compatible iterator type

Parameters

i (in)
an input in BSON format convertible to an input adapter
first (in)
iterator to start of the input
last (in)
iterator to end of the input
strict (in)
whether to expect the input to be consumed until EOF (#!cpp true by default)
allow_exceptions (in)
whether to throw exceptions in case of a parse error (optional, #!cpp true by default)

Return value

deserialized JSON value; in case of a parse error and allow_exceptions set to #!cpp false, the return value will be value_t::discarded. The latter can be checked with is_discarded.

Exception safety

Strong guarantee: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes in the JSON value.

Exceptions

Throws parse_error.114 if an unsupported BSON record type is encountered.

Complexity

Linear in the size of the input.

Examples

??? example

The example shows the deserialization of a byte vector in BSON format to a JSON value.
 
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/from_bson.cpp"
```

Output:

```json
--8<-- "examples/from_bson.output"
```

  • Added in version 3.4.0.

!!! warning "Deprecation"

- Overload (2) replaces calls to `from_bson` with a pointer and a length as first two parameters, which has been
  deprecated in version 3.8.0. This overload will be removed in version 4.0.0. Please replace all calls like
  `#!cpp from_bson(ptr, len, ...);` with `#!cpp from_bson(ptr, ptr+len, ...);`.
- Overload (2) replaces calls to `from_bson` with a pair of iterators as their first parameter, which has been
  deprecated in version 3.8.0. This overload will be removed in version 4.0.0. Please replace all calls like
  `#!cpp from_bson({ptr, ptr+len}, ...);` with `#!cpp from_bson(ptr, ptr+len, ...);`.

You should be warned by your compiler with a `-Wdeprecated-declarations` warning if you are using a deprecated
function.
