Detailed Description

template<typename ValueType, typename Allocator = CrtAllocator>
class rapidjson::GenericPointer< ValueType, Allocator >

Represents a JSON Pointer. Use Pointer for UTF8 encoding and default allocator.

This class implements RFC 6901 "JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Pointer" (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901).

A JSON pointer is for identifying a specific value in a JSON document (GenericDocument). It can simplify coding of DOM tree manipulation, because it can access multiple-level depth of DOM tree with single API call.

After it parses a string representation (e.g. "/foo/0" or URI fragment representation (e.g. "#/foo/0") into its internal representation (tokens), it can be used to resolve a specific value in multiple documents, or sub-tree of documents.

Contrary to GenericValue, Pointer can be copy constructed and copy assigned. Apart from assignment, a Pointer cannot be modified after construction.

Although Pointer is very convenient, please aware that constructing Pointer involves parsing and dynamic memory allocation. A special constructor with user- supplied tokens eliminates these.

GenericPointer depends on GenericDocument and GenericValue.

Template Parameters

ValueType	The value type of the DOM tree. E.g. GenericValue<UTF8<> >
Allocator	The allocator type for allocating memory for internal representation.

Note

GenericPointer uses same encoding of ValueType. However, Allocator of GenericPointer is independent of Allocator of Value.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

GenericPointer() [1/4]

template<typename ValueType , typename Allocator = CrtAllocator>

rapidjson::GenericPointer< ValueType, Allocator >::GenericPointer ( const Ch *  source, Allocator *  allocator = 0  )

inlineexplicit

Constructor that parses a string or URI fragment representation.

Parameters

source	A null-terminated, string or URI fragment representation of JSON pointer.
allocator	User supplied allocator for this pointer. If no allocator is provided, it creates a self-owned one.

GenericPointer() [2/4]

template<typename ValueType , typename Allocator = CrtAllocator>

rapidjson::GenericPointer< ValueType, Allocator >::GenericPointer ( const std::basic_string< Ch > &  source, Allocator *  allocator = 0  )

inlineexplicit

Constructor that parses a string or URI fragment representation.

Parameters

source	A string or URI fragment representation of JSON pointer.
allocator	User supplied allocator for this pointer. If no allocator is provided, it creates a self-owned one.

Note

Requires the definition of the preprocessor symbol RAPIDJSON_HAS_STDSTRING.

GenericPointer() [3/4]

template<typename ValueType , typename Allocator = CrtAllocator>

rapidjson::GenericPointer< ValueType, Allocator >::GenericPointer ( const Ch *  source, size_t  length, Allocator *  allocator = 0  )

inline

Constructor that parses a string or URI fragment representation, with length of the source string.

Parameters

source	A string or URI fragment representation of JSON pointer.
length	Length of source.
allocator	User supplied allocator for this pointer. If no allocator is provided, it creates a self-owned one.

Note

Slightly faster than the overload without length.

GenericPointer() [4/4]

template<typename ValueType , typename Allocator = CrtAllocator>

rapidjson::GenericPointer< ValueType, Allocator >::GenericPointer ( const Token *  tokens, size_t  tokenCount  )

inline

Constructor with user-supplied tokens.

This constructor let user supplies const array of tokens. This prevents the parsing process and eliminates allocation. This is preferred for memory constrained environments.

Parameters

tokens	An constant array of tokens representing the JSON pointer.
tokenCount	Number of tokens.

Example

#define NAME(s) { s, sizeof(s) / sizeof(s[0]) - 1, kPointerInvalidIndex }
#define INDEX(i) { #i, sizeof(#i) - 1, i }
 
static const Pointer::Token kTokens[] = { NAME("foo"), INDEX(123) };
static const Pointer p(kTokens, sizeof(kTokens) / sizeof(kTokens[0]));
// Equivalent to static const Pointer p("/foo/123");
 
#undef NAME
#undef INDEX

Member Function Documentation

Append() [1/2]

template<typename ValueType , typename Allocator = CrtAllocator>

GenericPointer rapidjson::GenericPointer< ValueType, Allocator >::Append ( const Ch *  name, SizeType  length, Allocator *  allocator = 0  ) const

inline

Append a name token with length, and return a new Pointer.

Parameters

name	Name to be appended.
length	Length of name.
allocator	Allocator for the newly return Pointer.

Returns

A new Pointer with appended token.

Append() [2/2]

template<typename ValueType , typename Allocator = CrtAllocator>

GenericPointer rapidjson::GenericPointer< ValueType, Allocator >::Append ( const Token &  token, Allocator *  allocator = 0  ) const

inline

Append a token and return a new Pointer.

Parameters

token	Token to be appended.
allocator	Allocator for the newly return Pointer.

Returns

A new Pointer with appended token.

RAPIDJSON_DISABLEIF_RETURN()

template<typename ValueType , typename Allocator = CrtAllocator>

template<typename T >

rapidjson::GenericPointer< ValueType, Allocator >::RAPIDJSON_DISABLEIF_RETURN	(	(internal::NotExpr< internal::IsSame< typename internal::RemoveConst< T >::Type, Ch > >)	,
		(GenericPointer< ValueType, Allocator >)
	)

Append a name token without length, and return a new Pointer.

Parameters

name	Name (const Ch*) to be appended.
allocator	Allocator for the newly return Pointer.

Returns

A new Pointer with appended token.

Swap()

template<typename ValueType , typename Allocator = CrtAllocator>

GenericPointer& rapidjson::GenericPointer< ValueType, Allocator >::Swap ( GenericPointer< ValueType, Allocator > &  other )

inline

Swap the content of this pointer with an other.

Parameters

other

The pointer to swap with.

Note

Constant complexity.
