◆ operator[]() [2/8]

template<template< typename, typename, typename... > class ObjectType = std::map, template< typename, typename... > class ArrayType = std::vector, class StringType = std::string, class BooleanType = bool, class NumberIntegerType = std::int64_t, class NumberUnsignedType = std::uint64_t, class NumberFloatType = double, template< typename > class AllocatorType = std::allocator, template< typename, typename=void > class JSONSerializer = adl_serializer>
const_reference nlohmann::basic_json::operator[] ( size_type  idx) const
inline

Returns a const reference to the element at specified location idx.

Parameters
[in]idxindex of the element to access
Returns
const reference to the element at index idx
Exceptions
type_error.305if the JSON value is not an array; in that case, using the [] operator with an index makes no sense.
Complexity Constant.
Example The example below shows how array elements can be read using
the [] operator.
1 #include <iostream>
2 #include "json.hpp"
3 
4 using json = nlohmann::json;
5 
6 int main()
7 {
8  // create JSON array
9  json array = {"first", "2nd", "third", "fourth"};
10 
11  // output element at index 2 (third element)
12  std::cout << array.at(2) << '\n';
13 }
static basic_json array(initializer_list_t init={})
explicitly create an array from an initializer list
Definition: json.hpp:8617
basic_json<> json
default JSON class
Definition: json.hpp:14379
reference at(size_type idx)
access specified array element with bounds checking
Definition: json.hpp:9984

Output (play with this example online):
"third"

The example code above can be translated with
