nlohmann::operator""_json

json operator "" _json(const char* s, std::size_t n);

This operator implements a user-defined string literal for JSON objects. It can be used by adding #!cpp _json to a string literal and returns a json object if no parse error occurred.

It is recommended to bring the operator into scope using any of the following lines:

using nlohmann::literals::operator "" _json;
using namespace nlohmann::literals;
using namespace nlohmann::json_literals;
using namespace nlohmann::literals::json_literals;
using namespace nlohmann;

This is suggested to ease migration to the next major version release of the library. See 'JSON_USE_GLOBAL_UDLS` for details.

Parameters

s (in) : a string representation of a JSON object

n (in) : length of string s

Return value

json value parsed from s

Exceptions

The function can throw anything that parse(s, s+n) would throw.

Complexity

Linear.

Examples

??? example

The following code shows how to create JSON values from string literals.
 
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/operator_literal_json.cpp"
```

Output:

```json
--8<-- "examples/operator_literal_json.output"
```
