json_view: from_json() of the macros reads views directly (#5922)
get<T>() and get_to() of a view call T's from_json() with the view itself when that from_json() accepts views but not an unrelated probe type, and fall back to materialize() otherwise. The from_json() functions of the NLOHMANN_DEFINE_TYPE_*, NLOHMANN_DEFINE_DERIVED_TYPE_* and NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM(_STRICT) macros accept basic_json values and views; a derived type whose base reads only json reads the base part through materialize(). The library's own from_json() overloads are not called with views: from_json() of a view (and of the probe) only looks up functions by ADL. New public trait nlohmann::is_json_view<T>, and the member type basic_json_type of basic_json_view. With duplicate keys, the members of such a T are those the view's lookups find (the first ones). bench_decode.cpp measures decoding into structs (4-6x faster than materialize().get<T>() on twitter, citm_catalog, and synthetic records).

# <small>nlohmann::</small>is_json_view
|
||||
|
||||
<small>Defined in header `<nlohmann/json_view.hpp>`</small>
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
template<typename T>
|
||||
struct is_json_view;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
A type trait: `#!cpp is_json_view<T>::value` is `#!cpp true` if `T` is a [`basic_json_view`](basic_json_view/index.md)
|
||||
of any `BasicJsonType` and any [`view_mode`](view_mode.md) -- [`json_view`](json_view.md),
|
||||
[`json_editable_view`](json_editable_view.md), [`ordered_json_view`](ordered_json_view.md), ... -- and
|
||||
`#!cpp false` otherwise, for [`basic_json`](basic_json/index.md) as well.
|
||||
|
||||
It is meant for constraining templates that accept views, in particular a `from_json()` that should read views
|
||||
directly: [`get<T>()`](basic_json_view/get.md) on a view calls a `from_json()` with the view only if that `from_json()`
|
||||
accepts views but not arbitrary types.
|
||||
|
||||
## Template parameters
|
||||
|
||||
`T`
|
||||
: the type to check (without cv-qualifiers or references)
|
||||
|
||||
## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
A view is recognized by its member type `basic_json_type` (a [`basic_json`](basic_json/index.md) specialization) and
|
||||
its [`materialize()`](basic_json_view/materialize.md) returning that type, so the trait needs no declaration of the
|
||||
view class.
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
??? example
|
||||
|
||||
The example below shows the trait, and a `from_json()` constrained to `json` values and views: `get<T>()` on a view
|
||||
reads the view directly.
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
--8<-- "examples/is_json_view.cpp"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Output:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
--8<-- "examples/is_json_view.output"
|
||||
```
