How to convert a json object to a map with nlohmann::json?
nlomann::json can convert Json objects to to most standard STL containers with get<typename BasicJsonType>() const
Example:
// Raw string to json typeauto j = R"({ "foo" : { "bar" : 1, "baz" : 2 }})"_json;// find object and convert to mapstd::map<std::string, int> m = j.at("foo").get<std::map<std::string, int>>();std::cout << m.at("baz") << "\n";// 2
There is function get
in class json.
Try something along these lines:
m = j.get<std::map <std::string, std::vector <int>>();
You might have to fiddle a bit with it to make it work precisely the way you want it to.
The only solution that I found is just to parse it manually.
std::map<std::string, std::vector<int>> m = { {"a", {1, 2}}, {"b", {2, 3}} }; json j = m; std::cout << j << std::endl; auto v8 = j.get<std::map<std::string, json>>(); std::map<std::string, std::vector<int>> m_new; for (auto &i : v8) { m_new[i.first] = i.second.get<std::vector<int>>(); } for(auto &item : m_new){ std::cout << item.first << ": " ; for(auto & k: item.second ){ std::cout << k << ","; } std::cout << std::endl; }
If there is a better way I would appreciate a hint.
