Note This method can be executed on any JSON value type. Parameters [in] ptr JSON pointer to check its existence. Returns true if the JSON pointer can be resolved to a stored value, false otherwise. Postcondition If j.contains(ptr) returns true, it is safe to call j[ptr]. Exceptions parse_error.106 if an array index begins with '0' parse_error.109 if an array index was not a number Complexity Logarithmic in the size of the JSON object. Example The following code shows an example for contains(). #include <iostream> #include <nlohmann/json.hpp> using json = nlohmann::json; int main() { // create a JSON value json j = { {"number", 1}, {"string", "foo"}, {"array", {1, 2}} }; std::cout << std::boolalpha << j.contains("/number"_json_pointer) << '\n' << j.contains("/string"_json_pointer) << '\n' << j.contains("/array"_json_pointer) << '\n' << j.contains("/array/1"_json_pointer) << '\n' << j.contains("/array/-"_json_pointer) << '\n' << j.contains("/array/4"_json_pointer) << '\n' << j.contains("/baz"_json_pointer) << std::endl; try { // try to use an array index with leading '0' j.contains("/array/01"_json_pointer); } catch (json::parse_error& e) { std::cout << e.what() << '\n'; } try { // try to use an array index that is not a number j.contains("/array/one"_json_pointer); } catch (json::parse_error& e) { std::cout << e.what() << '\n'; } } Output (play with this example online): true true true true false false false The example code above can be translated with g++ -std=c++11 -Isingle_include doc/examples/contains_json_pointer.cpp -o contains_json_pointer See also contains(KeyT &&) const – checks the existence of a key Since version 3.7.0 Definition at line 20937 of file json.hpp.
