## Member Function Documentation

json::array const& cppcms::json::value::array | ( |  | ) | const

Convert value to json::array, throws bad_value_cast if value's type is not array

Referenced by swap().

json::array& cppcms::json::value::array | ( |  | ) |

Get reference to array variable that represents this value, throws bad_value_cast if type is invalid

void cppcms::json::value::array | ( | json::array const & |  | ) |

Set value to array type and assign it

value const& cppcms::json::value::at | ( | std::string const & | path | ) | const

Searches a value in the path path, if not found throw bad_value_cast.

For example if the json::value represents { "x" : { "y" : 10 } }, then find("x.y") would return a reference to value that hold a number 10, find("x") returns a reference to a value that holds an object { "y" : 10 } and find("foo") throws

value const& cppcms::json::value::at | ( | char const * | path | ) | const

Searches a value in the path path, if not found throw bad_value_cast.

For example if the json::value represents { "x" : { "y" : 10 } }, then find("x.y") would return a reference to value that hold a number 10, find("x") returns a reference to a value that holds an object { "y" : 10 } and find("foo") throws

value& cppcms::json::value::at | ( | std::string const & | path | ) |

Searches a value in the path path, if not found throw bad_value_cast.

For example if the json::value represents { "x" : { "y" : 10 } }, then find("x.y") would return a reference to value that hold a number 10, find("x") returns a reference to a value that holds an object { "y" : 10 } and find("foo") throws

value& cppcms::json::value::at | ( | char const * | path | ) |

Searches a value in the path path, if not found throw bad_value_cast.

For example if the json::value represents { "x" : { "y" : 10 } }, then find("x.y") would return a reference to value that hold a number 10, find("x") returns a reference to a value that holds an object { "y" : 10 } and find("foo") throws

value const& cppcms::json::value::find | ( | char const * | path | ) | const
