basic_json::from_ubjson

// (1)
template<typename InputType>
static basic_json from_ubjson(InputType&& i,
                              const bool strict = true,
                              const bool allow_exceptions = true);
// (2)
template<typename IteratorType>
static basic_json from_ubjson(IteratorType first, IteratorType last,
                              const bool strict = true,
                              const bool allow_exceptions = true);

Deserializes a given input to a JSON value using the UBJSON (Universal Binary JSON) serialization format.

1. Reads from a compatible input.
2. Reads from an iterator range.

Template parameters

InputType

A compatible input, for instance:

• an std::istream object
• a FILE pointer
• a C-style array of characters
• a pointer to a null-terminated string of single byte characters
• an object obj for which begin(obj) and end(obj) produces a valid pair of iterators.

IteratorType

a compatible iterator type

Parameters

i (in)

an input in UBJSON format convertible to an input adapter

first (in)

iterator to start of the input

last (in)

iterator to end of the input

strict (in)

whether to expect the input to be consumed until EOF (#!cpp true by default)

allow_exceptions (in)

whether to throw exceptions in case of a parse error (optional, #!cpp true by default)

Return value

deserialized JSON value; in case of a parse error and allow_exceptions set to #!cpp false, the return value will be value_t::discarded. The latter can be checked with is_discarded.

Exception safety

Strong guarantee: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes in the JSON value.

Complexity

Linear in the size of the input.

Example

??? example

The example shows the deserialization of a byte vector in UBJSON format to a JSON value.
 
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/from_ubjson.cpp"
```

Output:

```json
--8<-- "examples/from_ubjson.output"
```

Version history
