JSONCPP Writing to files

Question

JSONCPP has a writer, but all it seems to do is get info from the parser and then output it into a string or a stream. How do I make it alter or create new objects, arrays, values, strings, et cetera and write them into the file?

Answer 1

#include<json/writer.h>

Code:

    Json::Value event;   
    Json::Value vec(Json::arrayValue);
    vec.append(Json::Value(1));
    vec.append(Json::Value(2));
    vec.append(Json::Value(3));

    event["competitors"]["home"]["name"] = "Liverpool";
    event["competitors"]["away"]["code"] = 89223;
    event["competitors"]["away"]["name"] = "Aston Villa";
    event["competitors"]["away"]["code"]=vec;

    std::cout << event << std::endl;

Output:

{
        "competitors" : 
        {
                "away" : 
                {
                        "code" : [ 1, 2, 3 ],
                        "name" : "Aston Villa"
                },
                "home" : 
                {
                        "name" : "Liverpool"
                }
        }
}
