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 <nlohmann/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 }

Output (play with this example online):^^
"third"
^^ The example code above can be translated with
