|
||||
@brief create a container (array or object) from an initializer list
|
||||
|
||||
Creates a JSON value of type array or object from the passed initializer
|
||||
list @a init. In case @a type_deduction is `true` (default), the type of
|
||||
the JSON value to be created is deducted from the initializer list @a init
|
||||
according to the following rules:
|
||||
|
||||
1. If the list is empty, an empty JSON object value `{}` is created.
|
||||
2. 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.
|
||||
3. 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 ratioinale is as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
1. The empty initializer list is written as `{}` which is exactly an empty
|
||||
JSON object.
|
||||
2. 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.
|
||||
3. 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 @ref array(list_init_t) with an empty
|
||||
initializer list in this case
|
||||
- arrays whose elements satisfy rule 2: use @ref array(list_init_t) with
|
||||
the same initializer list in this case
|
||||
|
||||
@note When used without parentheses around an empty initializer list, @ref
|
||||
basic_json() is called instead of this function, yielding the JSON null
|
||||
value.
|
||||
|
||||
@param init initializer list with JSON values
|
||||
|
||||
@param type_deduction internal parameter; when set to `true`, the type of
|
||||
the JSON value is deducted from the initializer list @a init; when set to
|
||||
`false`, the type provided via @a manual_type is forced. This mode is used
|
||||
by the functions @ref array(list_init_t) and @ref object(list_init_t).
|
||||
|
||||
@param manual_type internal parameter; when @a type_deduction is set to
|
||||
`false`, the created JSON value will use the provided type (only @ref
|
||||
value_t::array and @ref value_t::object are valid); when @a type_deduction
|
||||
is set to `true`, this parameter has no effect
|
||||
|

@return a JSON value created from the initializer list @a init; the type is

@brief create a container (array or object) from an initializer list
|
||||
|
||||
Creates a JSON value of type array or object from the passed initializer
|
||||
list @a init. In case @a type_deduction is `true` (default), the type of
|
||||
the JSON value to be created is deducted from the initializer list @a init
|
||||
according to the following rules:
|
||||
|
||||
1. If the list is empty, an empty JSON object value `{}` is created.
|
||||
2. 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.
|
||||
3. 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 ratioinale is as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
1. The empty initializer list is written as `{}` which is exactly an empty
|
||||
JSON object.
|
||||
2. 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.
|
||||
3. 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 @ref array(list_init_t) with an empty
|
||||
initializer list in this case
|
||||
- arrays whose elements satisfy rule 2: use @ref array(list_init_t) with
|
||||
the same initializer list in this case
|
||||
|
||||
@note When used without parentheses around an empty initializer list, @ref
|
||||
basic_json() is called instead of this function, yielding the JSON null
|
||||
value.
|
||||
|
||||
@param init initializer list with JSON values
|
||||
|
||||
@param type_deduction internal parameter; when set to `true`, the type of
|
||||
the JSON value is deducted from the initializer list @a init; when set to
|
||||
`false`, the type provided via @a manual_type is forced. This mode is used
|
||||
by the functions @ref array(list_init_t) and @ref object(list_init_t).
|
||||
|
||||
@param manual_type internal parameter; when @a type_deduction is set to
|
||||
`false`, the created JSON value will use the provided type (only @ref
|

value_t::array and @ref value_t::object are valid); when @a type_deduction

is set to `true`, this parameter has no effect
