# basic_json::items
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```cpp
|
||
|
|
iteration_proxy<iterator> items() noexcept;
|
||
|
|
iteration_proxy<const_iterator> items() const noexcept;
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This function allows to access `iterator::key()` and `iterator::value()` during range-based for loops. In these loops, a
|
||
|
|
reference to the JSON values is returned, so there is no access to the underlying iterator.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For loop without `items()` function:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```cpp
|
||
|
|
for (auto it = j_object.begin(); it != j_object.end(); ++it)
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
std::cout << "key: " << it.key() << ", value:" << it.value() << '\n';
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Range-based for loop without `items()` function:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```cpp
|
||
|
|
for (auto it : j_object)
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
// "it" is of type json::reference and has no key() member
|
||
|
|
std::cout << "value: " << it << '\n';
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Range-based for loop with `items()` function:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```cpp
|
||
|
|
for (auto& el : j_object.items())
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
std::cout << "key: " << el.key() << ", value:" << el.value() << '\n';
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `items()` function also allows to use
|
||
|
|
[structured bindings](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/structured_binding) (C++17):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```cpp
|
||
|
|
for (auto& [key, val] : j_object.items())
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
std::cout << "key: " << key << ", value:" << val << '\n';
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Return value
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
iteration proxy object wrapping the current value with an interface to use in range-based for loops
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Exception safety
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Strong guarantee: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes in the JSON value.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Complexity
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Constant.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Notes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When iterating over an array, `key()` will return the index of the element as string (see example). For primitive types
|
||
|
|
(e.g., numbers), `key()` returns an empty string.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
!!! warning
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using `items()` on temporary objects is dangerous. Make sure the object's lifetime exeeds the iteration. See
|
||
|
|
<https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/2040> for more information.

## Example
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
??? example
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following code shows an example for `items()`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```cpp
|
||
|
|
--8<-- "examples/items.cpp"
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Output:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```json
|
||
|
|
--8<-- "examples/items.output"
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|

|
## Version history
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Added in version 3.0.0.
|
||
|
|
- Added structured binding support in version 3.5.0.

|
!!! note
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This function replaces the static function `iterator_wrapper` which was introduced in version 1.0.0, but has been
|
||
|
|
deprecated in version 3.1.0. Function `iterator_wrapper` will be removed in version 4.0.0. Please replace all
|
||
|
|
occurrences of `#!cpp iterator_wrapper(j)` with `#!cpp j.items()`.
