static JSON_DEPRECATED iteration_proxy<iterator> nlohmann::basic_json::iterator_wrapper ( reference  ref)
inlinestaticnoexcept

This function allows to access iterator::key() and iterator::value() during range-based for loops. In these loops, a reference to the JSON values is returned, so there is no access to the underlying iterator.

For loop without iterator_wrapper:

for (auto it = j_object.begin(); it != j_object.end(); ++it)
{
std::cout << "key: " << it.key() << ", value:" << it.value() << '\n';
}

Range-based for loop without iterator proxy:

for (auto it : j_object)
{
// "it" is of type json::reference and has no key() member
std::cout << "value: " << it << '\n';
}

Range-based for loop with iterator proxy:

for (auto it : json::iterator_wrapper(j_object))
{
std::cout << "key: " << it.key() << ", value:" << it.value() << '\n';
}
Note
When iterating over an array, key() will return the index of the element as string (see example).
Parameters
[in]refreference to a JSON value
Returns
iteration proxy object wrapping ref with an interface to use in range-based for loops
Example^^ The following code shows how the wrapper is used ^^ iterator_wrapper.cpp
Output (play with this example online):^^
key: one, value: 1
key: two, value: 2
key: 0, value: 1
key: 1, value: 2
key: 2, value: 4
key: 3, value: 8
key: 4, value: 16
^^ The example code above can be translated with
g++ -std=c++11 -Isingle_include doc/examples/iterator_wrapper.cpp -o iterator_wrapper 
Exception safety^^ Strong guarantee: if an exception is thrown, there are no
changes in the JSON value.
Complexity^^ Constant.
Note
The name of this function is not yet final and may change in the future.
Deprecated:
This stream operator is deprecated and will be removed in future 4.0.0 of the library. Please use items() instead; that is, replace json::iterator_wrapper(j) with j.items().
