| ## ◆ dump()
string_t nlohmann::basic_json::dump | ( | const int | indent = `-1`,
|  | const char | indent_char = `' '`,
|  | const bool | ensure_ascii = `false`,
|  | const error_handler_t | error_handler = `error_handler_t::strict`
| ) |  | const
| inline
  Serialization function for JSON values. The function tries to mimic Python's `json.dumps()` function, and currently supports its indent and ensure_ascii parameters. Parameters
  [in] | indent | If indent is nonnegative, then array elements and object members will be pretty-printed with that indent level. An indent level of `0` will only insert newlines. `-1` (the default) selects the most compact representation.
  [in] | indent_char | The character to use for indentation if indent is greater than `0`. The default is (space).
  [in] | ensure_ascii | If ensure_ascii is true, all non-ASCII characters in the output are escaped with `\uXXXX` sequences, and the result consists of ASCII characters only.
  [in] | error_handler | how to react on decoding errors; there are three possible values: `strict` (throws and exception in case a decoding error occurs; default), `replace` (replace invalid UTF-8 sequences with U+FFFD), and `ignore` (ignore invalid UTF-8 sequences during serialization).
  Returns string containing the serialization of the JSON value Exceptions
  type_error.316 | if a string stored inside the JSON value is not UTF-8 encoded and error_handler is set to strict
  Note Binary values are serialized as object containing two keys: "bytes": an array of bytes as integers "subtype": the subtype as integer or "null" if the binary has no subtype Complexity Linear. Exception safety Strong guarantee: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes in the JSON value. Example The following example shows the effect of different indent, indent_char, and ensure_ascii parameters to the result of the serialization. 1 #include <iostream> 2 #include <nlohmann/json.hpp> 3 4 using json = nlohmann::json; 5 6 int main() 7 { 8 // create JSON values 9 json j_object = {{"one", 1}, {"two", 2}}; 10 json j_array = {1, 2, 4, 8, 16}; 11 json j_string = "Hellö 😀!"; 12 13 // call dump() 14 std::cout << "objects:" << '\n' 15 << j_object.dump() << "\n\n" 16 << j_object.dump(-1) << "\n\n" 17 << j_object.dump(0) << "\n\n" 18 << j_object.dump(4) << "\n\n" 19 << j_object.dump(1, '\t') << "\n\n"; 20 21 std::cout << "arrays:" << '\n' 22 << j_array.dump() << "\n\n" 23 << j_array.dump(-1) << "\n\n" 24 << j_array.dump(0) << "\n\n" 25 << j_array.dump(4) << "\n\n" 26 << j_array.dump(1, '\t') << "\n\n"; 27 28 std::cout << "strings:" << '\n' 29 << j_string.dump() << '\n' 30 << j_string.dump(-1, ' ', true) << '\n'; 31 32 // create JSON value with invalid UTF-8 byte sequence 33 json j_invalid = "ä\xA9ü"; 34 try 35 { 36 std::cout << j_invalid.dump() << std::endl; 37 } 38 catch (json::type_error& e) 39 { 40 std::cout << e.what() << std::endl; 41 } 42 43 std::cout << "string with replaced invalid characters: " 44 << j_invalid.dump(-1, ' ', false, json::error_handler_t::replace) 45 << "\nstring with ignored invalid characters: " 46 << j_invalid.dump(-1, ' ', false, json::error_handler_t::ignore) 47 << '\n'; 48 } Output (play with this example online):
      objects:
      {"one":1,"two":2}

      {"one":1,"two":2}

      {
      "one": 1,
      "two": 2
      }

      {
          "one": 1,
          "two": 2
      }

      {
      	"one": 1,
      	"two": 2
      }

      string with replaced invalid characters: "ä�ü"
