Add element access, iteration, values, and JSON pointers to json_view
Give basic_json_view the read-only access functions of basic_json: operator[] and at() with keys and indices, front()/back(), find(), contains(), count(), begin()/end() and cbegin()/cend(), items() with structured bindings from C++17 on, and type_name(). Exceptions have the ids and messages of the const functions of basic_json. Where basic_json has undefined behavior the view answers safely: operator[] with a missing key or an out-of-range index returns a discarded view, and front()/back() of an empty container throw invalid_iterator.214. Objects are iterated in document order, and all members are visited; duplicate-key lookups find the first member (as yyjson and simdjson do), while parse(), materialize(), and the map conversions keep the last value, as parse() does. Keys of up to 16 bytes are compared with two overlapping loads. Add value conversions: get<T>()/get_to() for arithmetic types, bool, nullptr_t, strings (std::basic_string copied, string_view_t without a copy), BasicJsonType, views, std::vector, and maps with string keys; get_string() for the string without a copy; number_token() for the number exactly as written in the source; value() with keys and JSON pointers; and operator[]/at()/ contains() with JSON pointers. Everything else, including types with from_json(), goes through materialize() of that subtree. get<T>() of arithmetic types is inlined down to the conversion, so reading an integer needs no call. detail::json_pointer_access exposes a pointer's reference tokens to code outside basic_json.

# <small>nlohmann::basic_json_view::</small>back
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
basic_json_view back() const;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Returns the last element of an array, the last member value of an object, or the value itself if it is primitive
|
||||
(as for [`BasicJsonType::back()`](../basic_json/back.md), a primitive value is a range of one element).
|
||||
|
||||
## Return value
|
||||
|
||||
The last element or member value. For a primitive value (number, string, boolean), the value itself.
|
||||
|
||||
## Exception safety
|
||||
|
||||
Strong exception safety: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes to the view or the document it refers to.
|
||||
|
||||
## Exceptions
|
||||
|
||||
Throws [`invalid_iterator.214`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptioninvalid_iterator214) if the view is
|
||||
[null](is_null.md) or [discarded](is_discarded.md), or if it is an empty array or object.
|
||||
|
||||
This exception does not carry a [`JSON_DIAGNOSTICS`](../macros/json_diagnostics.md) path: the view has no
|
||||
`BasicJsonType` value to point at, so the exception is created without one, even if `BasicJsonType` was built with
|
||||
`JSON_DIAGNOSTICS` enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
## Complexity
|
||||
|
||||
Linear in the size of the array or object: unlike [`front()`](front.md), which only ever looks at the first
|
||||
element, `back()` has to walk every element to find where they end, since elements are not a fixed size in the
|
||||
index.
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
Unlike [`BasicJsonType::back()`](../basic_json/back.md), which has undefined behavior for an empty array or object,
|
||||
`back()` throws `invalid_iterator.214` in that case -- the same way it already does for `#!json null` and for a
|
||||
discarded view, where `BasicJsonType::back()` also throws.
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
??? example
|
||||
|
||||
The example below reads only the final status of a build log with `back()`. Even though `back()` is linear in
|
||||
the number of events (unlike [`front()`](front.md), which is constant), it still avoids building a
|
||||
`BasicJsonType` value for the events that are not needed.
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
--8<-- "examples/basic_json_view__back.cpp"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Output:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
--8<-- "examples/basic_json_view__back.output"
|
||||
```
