Hi I would like to do something easy with the lib jsoncpp like this:
std::map<int,string> mymap;
mymap[0]="zero";
mymap[1]= "one";
Json::Value root;
root["teststring"] = "m_TestString"; //it works
root["testMap"] = mymap; //it does not work
Json::StyledWriter writer;
string output = writer.write( root );
The error is : error C2679: binary '=' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'std::map<_Kty,_Ty>'
Do you have an idea to solve this,? I understand that json::value can not accept a map but to create a json file it should be, right? thank you very much
Yes, this isn't working, since Json::Value does only accept generic types or another Json::Value. So you could try using a Json::Value instead of std::map.
Json::Value mymap;
mymap["0"] = "zero";
mymap["1"] = "one";
Json::Value root;
root["teststring"] = "m_TestString"; // it works
root["testMap"] = mymap; // works now
Json::StyledWriter writer;
const string output = writer.write(root);
This should do the job. If you really have to use a std::map<int, std::string>, then you'll have to convert it to a Json::Value first. This would be something like (pseudo-not-tested-code):
std::map<int, std::string> mymap;
mymap[0] = "zero";
mymap[1] = "one";
// conversion of std::map<int, std::string> to Json::Value
Json::Value jsonMap;
std::map<int, std::string>::const_iterator it = mymap.begin(), end = mymap.end();
for ( ; it != end; ++it) {
jsonMap[std::to_string(it->first)] = it->second;
// ^ beware: std::to_string is C++11
}
Json::Value root;
root["teststring"] = "m_TestString";
root["testMap"] = jsonMap; // use the Json::Value instead of mymap
Json::StyledWriter writer;
const string output = writer.write(root);
