How can I add members to a rapidjson document using integers as the key/name?

Question

I'm using a for loop and want to use the iterator, i, as the key/name when I add a member to the document. For example I want the document to look like this:

{"1":"123.321","2":"456.654"}

Here is what I have tried so far.

1. Converting i to a const char*

rapidjson::Value newDouble(6);
for(int i = 0;i<laserScan.size();i++){
    newDouble.SetDouble(laserScan[i]);
    const char* index = std::to_string(i).c_str();
    d.AddMember(index,newDouble,d.GetAllocator());
}

This generates a compiler error telling me that AddMember can only take arguments of type rapidjson::GenericValue&:

error: no matching function for call to ‘rapidjson::GenericDocument<rapidjson::UTF8<> >::AddMember(const char*&, rapidjson::Value&, rapidjson::MemoryPoolAllocator<>&)’
     d.AddMember(index,newDouble,d.GetAllocator());//add this name-value pair to the JSON string

2. Converting i to a string using rapidjson types

rapidjson::Value newDouble(6), newStringIndex(5);
for(int i = 0;i<laserScan.size();i++){    
    newDouble.SetDouble(laserScan[i]);
    const char* index = std::to_string(i).c_str();
    size = (rapidjson::SizeType)std::strlen(index);
    newStringIndex.SetString(rapidjson::StringRef(index,size));
    d.AddMember(newStringIndex,newDouble,d.GetAllocator());
}

This throws the following run-time error from Writer class:

Assertion `!hasRoot_' failed.

Why I'm Confused

Shouldn't solution #1 be the same thing as doing the following?

d.AddMember("1",newDouble,d.GetAllocator());    

This works when I try it, but I can't figure out why converting an integer to a const char* won't.

Answer 1

I found a workaround. Instead of making all the keys integers, I just added the key "indices" with the corresponding value being an array of all the indices. Then I added another array called "data" which contained an array of all the data:

rapidjson::Document document;
rapidjson::Document::AllocatorType& allocator = document.GetAllocator();
rapidjson::Value dataArray(rapidjson::kArrayType), ;

for(int i = 0;i<laserScan.size();i++){                 
    dataArray.PushBack(rapidjson::Value().SetDouble(laserScan[i]),allocator);
}
document.AddMember("data",dataArrary,allocator);
