basic_json::is_number

constexpr bool is_number() const noexcept;

This function returns #!cpp true if and only if the JSON value is a number. This includes both integer (signed and unsigned) and floating-point values.

Return value

#!cpp true if type is number (regardless whether integer, unsigned integer or floating-type), #!cpp false otherwise.

Exception safety

No-throw guarantee: this member function never throws exceptions.

Complexity

Constant.

Possible implementation

constexpr bool is_number() const noexcept
{
    return is_number_integer() || is_number_float();
}

Example

??? example

The following code exemplifies `is_number()` for all JSON types.

```cpp
--8<-- "examples/is_number.cpp"
```

Output:

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

Version history
