The function restores the arbitrary nesting of a JSON value that has been flattened before using the flatten() function. The JSON value must meet certain constraints:
- The value must be an object.
- The keys must be JSON pointers (see RFC 6901)
- The mapped values must be primitive JSON types.
- Returns
- the original JSON from a flattened version
- Note
- Empty objects and arrays are flattened by flatten() to
null values and can not unflattened to their original type. Apart from this example, for a JSON value j , the following is always true: j == j.flatten().unflatten() .
- Complexity\n Linear in the size the JSON value.
- Example\n The following code shows how a flattened JSON object is
- unflattened into the original nested JSON object.
10 { "/answer/everything", 42},
16 { "/nothing", nullptr},
17 { "/object/currency", "USD"},
18 { "/object/value", 42.99},
static basic_json array(std::initializer_list< basic_json > init=std::initializer_list< basic_json >()) explicitly create an array from an initializer list
basic_json unflatten() const unflatten a previously flattened JSON value
a class to store JSON values
basic_json<> json default JSON class
Output (play with this example online):
{
"answer": {
"everything": 42
},
"happy": true,
"list": [
1,
0,
2
],
"name": "Niels",
"nothing": null,
"object": {
"currency": "USD",
"value": 42.99
},
"pi": 3.141
}
The example code above can be translated with g++ -std=c++11 -Isrc doc/examples/unflatten.cpp -o unflatten
