nlohmann::json_pointer

template<typename RefStringType>
class json_pointer;

A JSON pointer defines a string syntax for identifying a specific value within a JSON document. It can be used with functions at and operator[]. Furthermore, JSON pointers are the base for JSON patches.

Template parameters

RefStringType
the string type used for the reference tokens making up the JSON pointer

Notes

For backwards compatibility RefStringType may also be a specialization of basic_json in which case string_t will be deduced as basic_json::string_t. This feature is deprecated and may be removed in a future major version.

Member types

  • string_t - the string type used for the reference tokens

Member functions

  • (constructor)
  • to_string - return a string representation of the JSON pointer
  • operator string_t - return a string representation of the JSON pointer
  • operator/= - append to the end of the JSON pointer
  • operator/ - create JSON Pointer by appending
  • parent_pointer - returns the parent of this JSON pointer
  • pop_back - remove last reference token
  • back - return last reference token
  • push_back - append an unescaped token at the end of the pointer
  • empty - return whether pointer points to the root document
