| ## ◆ basic_json() [3/10] template<typename CompatibleType , typename U = detail::uncvref_t<CompatibleType>, detail::enable_if_t< not detail::is_basic_json< U >::value and detail::is_compatible_type< basic_json_t, U >::value, int > = 0>
nlohmann::basic_json::basic_json | ( | CompatibleType && | val | ) |
| inline noexcept
  This is a "catch all" constructor for all compatible JSON types; that is, types for which a `to_json()` method exists. The constructor forwards the parameter val to that method (to `json_serializer<U>to_json` method with `U = uncvref_t<CompatibleType>`, to be exact). Template type CompatibleType includes, but is not limited to, the following types: arrays: array_t and all kinds of compatible containers such as `std::vector`, `std::deque`, `std::list`, `std::forward_list`, `std::array`, `std::valarray`, `std::set`, `std::unordered_set`, `std::multiset`, and `std::unordered_multiset` with a `value_type` from which a basic_json value can be constructed. objects: object_t and all kinds of compatible associative containers such as `std::map`, `std::unordered_map`, `std::multimap`, and `std::unordered_multimap` with a `key_type` compatible to string_t and a `value_type` from which a basic_json value can be constructed. strings: string_t, string literals, and all compatible string containers can be used. numbers: number_integer_t, number_unsigned_t, number_float_t, and all convertible number types such as `int`, `size_t`, `int64_t`, `float` or `double` can be used. boolean: boolean_t / `bool` can be used. binary: binary_t / `std::vector<uint8_t>` may be used, unfortunately because string literals cannot be distinguished from binary character arrays by the C++ type system, all types compatible with `const char*` will be directed to the string constructor instead. This is both for backwards compatibility, and due to the fact that a binary type is not a standard JSON type. See the examples below. Template Parameters
  CompatibleType | a type such that: CompatibleType is not derived from `std::istream`, CompatibleType is not basic_json (to avoid hijacking copy/move constructors), CompatibleType is not a different basic_json type (i.e. with different template arguments) CompatibleType is not a basic_json nested type (e.g., json_pointer, iterator, etc ...) json_serializer has a `to_json(basic_json_t&, CompatibleType&&)` method
  U | = `uncvref_t<CompatibleType>`
  Parameters
  [in] | val | the value to be forwarded to the respective constructor
  Complexity Usually linear in the size of the passed val, also depending on the implementation of the called `to_json()` method. Exception safety Depends on the called constructor. For types directly supported by the library (i.e., all types for which no `to_json()` function was provided), strong guarantee holds: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes to any JSON value. Example The following code shows the constructor with several compatible types. 1 #include <iostream> 2 #include <deque> 3 #include <list> 4 #include <forward_list> 5 #include <set> 6 #include <unordered_map> 7 #include <unordered_set> 8 #include <valarray> 9 #include <nlohmann/json.hpp> 10 11 using json = nlohmann::json;
