# <small>nlohmann::adl_serializer::</small>to_json
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
template<typename BasicJsonType, typename TargetType = ValueType>
|
|
static auto to_json(BasicJsonType& j, TargetType && val) noexcept(
|
|
noexcept(::nlohmann::to_json(j, std::forward<TargetType>(val))))
|
|
-> decltype(::nlohmann::to_json(j, std::forward<TargetType>(val)), void())
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This function is usually called by the constructors of the [basic_json](../basic_json/index.md) class.
|
|
|
|
## Parameters
|
|
|
|
`j` (out)
|
|
: JSON value to write to
|
|
|
|
`val` (in)
|
|
: value to read from
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
??? example
|
|
|
|
The example below shows how a `to_json` function can be implemented for a user-defined type. This function is called
|
|
by the `adl_serializer` when the constructor `basic_json(ns::person)` is called.
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
#include <iostream>
|
|
#include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
|
|
|
|
using json = nlohmann::json;
|
|
|
|
namespace ns
|
|
{
|
|
// a simple struct to model a person
|
|
struct person
|
|
{
|
|
std::string name;
|
|
std::string address;
|
|
int age;
|
|
};
|
|
} // namespace ns
|
|
|
|
namespace ns
|
|
{
|
|
void to_json(json& j, const person& p)
|
|
{
|
|
j = json{ {"name", p.name}, {"address", p.address}, {"age", p.age} };
|
|
}
|
|
} // namespace ns
|
|
|
|
int main()
|
|
{
|
|
ns::person p = {"Ned Flanders", "744 Evergreen Terrace", 60};
|
|
|
|
json j = p;
|
|
|
|
std::cout << j << std::endl;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Output:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{"address":"744 Evergreen Terrace","age":60,"name":"Ned Flanders"}
|
|
|
|
```
