# nlohmann::basic_json::parse_event_t
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
enum class parse_event_t : std::uint8_t {
|
|
object_start,
|
|
object_end,
|
|
array_start,
|
|
array_end,
|
|
key,
|
|
value
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The parser callback distinguishes the following events:
|
|
|
|
- `object_start`: the parser read `{` and started to process a JSON object
|
|
- `key`: the parser read a key of a value in an object
|
|
- `object_end`: the parser read `}` and finished processing a JSON object
|
|
- `array_start`: the parser read `[` and started to process a JSON array
|
|
- `array_end`: the parser read `]` and finished processing a JSON array
|
|
- `value`: the parser finished reading a JSON value
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
Example
|
|
|
|
The following code parses a small JSON text with a parser callback that reports every event together with its depth and keeps every value (by always returning `true`).
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
#include <iostream>
|
|
#include <string>
|
|
#include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
|
|
|
|
using json = nlohmann::json;
|
|
|
|
// translate a parse_event_t to a human-readable name
|
|
std::string event_name(json::parse_event_t event)
|
|
{
|
|
switch (event)
|
|
{
|
|
case json::parse_event_t::object_start:
|
|
return "object_start";
|
|
case json::parse_event_t::object_end:
|
|
return "object_end";
|
|
case json::parse_event_t::array_start:
|
|
return "array_start";
|
|
case json::parse_event_t::array_end:
|
|
return "array_end";
|
|
case json::parse_event_t::key:
|
|
return "key";
|
|
case json::parse_event_t::value:
|
|
return "value";
|
|
default:
|
|
return "unknown";
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
int main()
|
|
{
|
|
// a small JSON text
|
|
auto text = R"({"pi": 3.141, "numbers": [1, 2]})";
|
|
|
|
// parse the text and report every event together with its depth;
|
|
// returning true keeps every value unchanged
|
|
json j = json::parse(text, [](int depth, json::parse_event_t event, json& /*parsed*/)
|
|
{
|
|
std::cout << depth << " " << event_name(event) << '\n';
|
|
return true;
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// the callback did not change anything, so the parsed value is unaffected
|
|
std::cout << j << '\n';
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Output:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
0 object_start
|
|
1 key
|
|
1 value
|
|
1 key
|
|
1 array_start
|
|
2 value
|
|
2 value
|
|
1 array_end
|
|
0 object_end
|
|
{"numbers":[1,2],"pi":3.141}
|
|
```
