I am getting the below error when reading the value from the JSON ptree using Boost C++
Unhandled exception at 0x7682B502 in JSONSampleApp.exe: Microsoft C++ exception :
boost::wrapexcept<boost::property_tree::ptree_bad_path> at memory location 0x00DFEB38.
Below is the program, Could someone please help me what i am missing here.
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <boost/property_tree/json_parser.hpp>
#include <boost/property_tree/ptree.hpp>
#include <boost/foreach.hpp>
using namespace std;
using boost::property_tree::ptree;
int main()
{
const char* f_strSetting = "{\"Student\": {\"Name\":\"John\",\"Course\":\"C++\"}}";
boost::property_tree::ptree pt1;
std::istringstream l_issJson(f_strSetting);
boost::property_tree::read_json(l_issJson, pt1);
BOOST_FOREACH(boost::property_tree::ptree::value_type & v, pt1.get_child("Student"))
{
std::string l_strColor;
std::string l_strPattern;
l_strColor = v.second.get <std::string>("Name");
l_strPattern = v.second.get <std::string>("Course");
}
return 0;
}
There is a shape mismatch between your code and your data:
Student.name
is "John".Student
key, so it tries to fetch Student.0.name
, Student.1.name
, ... for every subitem of Student
.Either fix the code:
// Drop the BOOST_FOREACH
auto & l_Student = pt1.get_child("Student");
l_strColor = l_Student.get<std::string>("Name");
or fix the data:
// Note the extra []
const char * f_strSetting = R"({"Student": [{"Name":"John","Course":"C++"}]})";
