# basic_json::is_primitive
|
||
|
|
||
|
```cpp
|
||
|
constexpr bool is_primitive() const noexcept;
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
This function returns `#!cpp true` if and only if the JSON type is primitive (string, number, boolean, `#!json null`,
|
||
|
binary).
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Return value
|
||
|
|
||
|
`#!cpp true` if type is primitive (string, number, boolean, `#!json null`, or binary), `#!cpp false` otherwise.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Exception safety
|
||
|
|
||
|
No-throw guarantee: this member function never throws exceptions.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Complexity
|
||
|
|
||
|
Constant.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Possible implementation
|
||
|
|
||
|
```cpp
|
||
|
constexpr bool is_primitive() const noexcept
|
||
|
{
|
||
|
return is_null() || is_string() || is_boolean() || is_number() || is_binary();
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Notes
|
||
|
|
||
|
The term *primitive* stems from [RFC 8259](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8259):
|
||
|
|
||
|
> JSON can represent four primitive types (strings, numbers, booleans, and null) and two structured types (objects and
|
||
|
> arrays).
|
||
|
|
||
|
This library extends primitive types to binary types, because binary types are roughly comparable to strings. Hence,
|
||
|
`is_primitive()` returns `#!cpp true` for binary values.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Example
|
||
|
|
||
|
??? example
|
||
|
|
||
|
The following code exemplifies `is_primitive()` for all JSON types.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```cpp
|
||
|
--8<-- "examples/is_primitive.cpp"
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Output:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```json
|
||
|
--8<-- "examples/is_primitive.output"
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Version history
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Added in version 1.0.0.
|
||
|
- Extended to return `#!cpp true` for binary types in version 3.8.0.
