Returns the maximum number of elements a JSON value is able to hold due to system or library implementation limitations, i.e. std::distance(begin(), end())
for the JSON value.
- Returns
- The return value depends on the different types and is defined as follows:
Value type | return value |
null | 0 (same as size() ) |
boolean | 1 (same as size() ) |
string | 1 (same as size() ) |
number | 1 (same as size() ) |
object | result of function object_t::max_size() |
array | result of function array_t::max_size() |
- Example^^ The following code calls max_size() on the different value
- types. Note the output is implementation specific. ^^

- Complexity^^ Constant, as long as array_t and object_t satisfy
- the Container concept; that is, their
max_size()
functions have constant complexity.
- Iterator validity^^ No changes.
- Exception safety^^ No-throw guarantee: this function never throws exceptions.
- Requirements^^ This function helps basic_json satisfying the
- Container requirements:
- The complexity is constant.
- Has the semantics of returning
b.size()
where b
is the largest possible JSON value.
