Member Function Documentation

◆ at() [1/2]

simdjson_result< element > simdjson::dom::element::at ( const std::string_view json_pointer ) const

inlinenoexcept

Version 0.4 of simdjson used an incorrect interpretation of the JSON Pointer standard and allowed the following :

dom::parser parser; element doc = parser.parse(R"({ "foo": { "a": [ 10, 20, 30 ] }})"_padded); doc.at("foo/a/1") == 20

Though it is intuitive, it is not compliant with RFC 6901 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901

For standard compliance, use the at_pointer function instead.

Returns

The value associated with the given JSON pointer, or:

NO_SUCH_FIELD if a field does not exist in an object
INDEX_OUT_OF_BOUNDS if an array index is larger than an array length
INCORRECT_TYPE if a non-integer is used to access an array
INVALID_JSON_POINTER if the JSON pointer is invalid and cannot be parsed

Definition at line 428 of file element-inl.h.

◆ at() [2/2]

simdjson_result< element > simdjson::dom::element::at ( size_t index ) const

inlinenoexcept

Get the value at the given index.

Returns

The value at the given index, or:

INDEX_OUT_OF_BOUNDS if the array index is larger than an array length

Definition at line 435 of file element-inl.h.

◆ at_key()

simdjson_result< element > simdjson::dom::element::at_key ( std::string_view key ) const

inlinenoexcept

Get the value associated with the given key.

The key will be matched against unescaped JSON:

dom::parser parser; int64_t(parser.parse(R"({ "a
": 1 })"_padded)["a\n"]) == 1 parser.parse(R"({ "a
": 1 })"_padded)["a\\n"].get_uint64().error() == NO_SUCH_FIELD

Returns

The value associated with this field, or:

NO_SUCH_FIELD if the field does not exist in the object

Definition at line 438 of file element-inl.h.

◆ at_key_case_insensitive()

simdjson_result< element > simdjson::dom::element::at_key_case_insensitive ( std::string_view key ) const

inlinenoexcept

Get the value associated with the given key in a case-insensitive manner.

Note: The key will be matched against unescaped JSON.

Returns

The value associated with this field, or:

NO_SUCH_FIELD if the field does not exist in the object

Definition at line 441 of file element-inl.h.

◆ at_path()

simdjson_result< element > simdjson::dom::element::at_path ( std::string_view json_path ) const

inlinenoexcept

Get the value associated with the given JSONPath expression.

We only support JSONPath queries that trivially convertible to JSON Pointer queries: key names and array indices.

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-normington-jsonpath-00

Returns

The value associated with the given JSONPath expression, or:

INVALID_JSON_POINTER if the JSONPath to JSON Pointer conversion fails
NO_SUCH_FIELD if a field does not exist in an object
INDEX_OUT_OF_BOUNDS if an array index is larger than an array length
INCORRECT_TYPE if a non-integer is used to access an array

Definition at line 421 of file element-inl.h.

◆ at_pointer()

simdjson_result< element > simdjson::dom::element::at_pointer ( const std::string_view json_pointer ) const

inlinenoexcept

Get the value associated with the given JSON pointer.

We use the RFC 6901 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901 standard.

dom::parser parser; element doc = parser.parse(R"({ "foo": { "a": [ 10, 20, 30 ] }})"_padded); doc.at_pointer("/foo/a/1") == 20 doc.at_pointer("/foo")["a"].at(1) == 20 doc.at_pointer("")["foo"]["a"].at(1) == 20

It is allowed for a key to be the empty string:

dom::parser parser; object obj = parser.parse(R"({ "": { "a": [ 10, 20, 30 ] }})"_padded); obj.at_pointer("//a/1") == 20

Returns

The value associated with the given JSON pointer, or:

NO_SUCH_FIELD if a field does not exist in an object
INDEX_OUT_OF_BOUNDS if an array index is larger than an array length
INCORRECT_TYPE if a non-integer is used to access an array
INVALID_JSON_POINTER if the JSON pointer is invalid and cannot be parsed

Definition at line 401 of file element-inl.h.

◆ begin()

array::iterator simdjson::dom::element::begin ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Iterate over each element in this array.

Returns: The beginning of the iteration.

Exceptions

simdjson_error(INCORRECT_TYPE) if the JSON element is not an array

Definition at line 368 of file element-inl.h.

◆ end()

array::iterator simdjson::dom::element::end ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Iterate over each element in this array.

Returns: The end of the iteration.

Exceptions

simdjson_error(INCORRECT_TYPE) if the JSON element is not an array

Definition at line 371 of file element-inl.h.

◆ get() [1/2]

template<typename T >

simdjson_result<T> simdjson::dom::element::get ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Get the value as the provided type (T).

Supported types:

Boolean: bool
Number: double, uint64_t, int64_t
String: std::string_view, const char *
Array: dom::array
Object: dom::object

You may use get_double(), get_bool(), get_uint64(), get_int64(), get_object(), get_array() or get_string() instead.

Template Parameters

T	bool, double, uint64_t, int64_t, std::string_view, const char *, dom::array, dom::object

Returns: The value cast to the given type, or: INCORRECT_TYPE if the value cannot be cast to the given type.

Definition at line 211 of file element.h.

◆ get() [2/2]

template<typename T >

simdjson_warn_unused simdjson_inline error_code simdjson::dom::element::get ( T & value ) const

noexcept

Get the value as the provided type (T).

Supported types:

Boolean: bool
Number: double, uint64_t, int64_t
String: std::string_view, const char *
Array: dom::array
Object: dom::object

Template Parameters

T	bool, double, uint64_t, int64_t, std::string_view, const char *, dom::array, dom::object

Parameters

value The variable to set to the value. May not be set if there is an error.

Returns: The error that occurred, or SUCCESS if there was no error.

Definition at line 315 of file element-inl.h.

◆ get_array()

simdjson_result< array > simdjson::dom::element::get_array ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Cast this element to an array.

Returns: An object that can be used to iterate the array, or: INCORRECT_TYPE if the JSON element is not an array.

Definition at line 295 of file element-inl.h.

◆ get_bool()

Definition at line 206 of file element-inl.h.

◆ get_c_str()

simdjson_result< const char * > simdjson::dom::element::get_c_str ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Cast this element to a null-terminated C string.

The string is guaranteed to be valid UTF-8.

The length of the string is given by get_string_length(). Because JSON strings may contain null characters, it may be incorrect to use strlen to determine the string length.

It is possible to get a single string_view instance which represents both the string content and its length: see get_string().

Returns: A pointer to a null-terminated UTF-8 string. This string is stored in the parser and will be invalidated the next time it parses a document or when it is destroyed. Returns INCORRECT_TYPE if the JSON element is not a string.

◆ get_object()

simdjson_result< object > simdjson::dom::element::get_object ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

◆ get_string()

simdjson_result< std::string_view > simdjson::dom::element::get_string ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Cast this element to a string.

The string is guaranteed to be valid UTF-8.

Returns: An UTF-8 string. The string is stored in the parser and will be invalidated the next time it parses a document or when it is destroyed. Returns INCORRECT_TYPE if the JSON element is not a string.

Definition at line 235 of file element-inl.h.

◆ get_string_length()

simdjson_result< size_t > simdjson::dom::element::get_string_length ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Gives the length in bytes of the string.

It is possible to get a single string_view instance which represents both the string content and its length: see get_string().

Returns: A string length in bytes. Returns INCORRECT_TYPE if the JSON element is not a string.
