basic_json::count

template<typename KeyT>
size_type count(KeyT&& key) const;

Returns the number of elements with key key. If ObjectType is the default std::map type, the return value will always be 0 (key was not found) or 1 (key was found).

Template parameters

KeyT: A type for an object key.

Parameters

key (in): key value of the element to count.

Return value

Number of elements with key key. If the JSON value is not an object, the return value will be 0.

Exception safety

Strong exception safety: if an exception occurs, the original value stays intact.

Complexity

Logarithmic in the size of the JSON object.

Notes

This method always returns 0 when executed on a JSON type that is not an object.
