# nlohmann::operator>>(basic_json)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
std::istream& operator>>(std::istream& i, basic_json& j);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Deserializes an input stream to a JSON value.
|
|
|
|
## Parameters
|
|
|
|
`i` (in, out) : input stream to read a serialized JSON value from
|
|
|
|
`j` (in, out) : JSON value to write the deserialized input to
|
|
|
|
## Return value
|
|
|
|
the stream `i`
|
|
|
|
## Exceptions
|
|
|
|
- Throws [`parse_error.101`](https://json.nlohmann.me/home/exceptions/#jsonexceptionparse_error101) in case of an unexpected token.
|
|
|
|
## Complexity
|
|
|
|
Linear in the length of the input. The parser is a predictive LL(1) parser.
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
A UTF-8 byte order mark is silently ignored.
|
|
|
|
Invalid Unicode escapes and unpaired surrogates in the input are reported as [`parse_error.101`](https://json.nlohmann.me/home/exceptions/#jsonexceptionparse_error101) with a detailed message.
|
|
|
|
`operator>>` parses exactly one JSON value, so it can be called repeatedly to read a sequence of concatenated JSON values from the same stream:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
json j1, j2;
|
|
input >> j1; // parses the first value
|
|
input >> j2; // parses the next value
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A number must be followed by whitespace
|
|
|
|
A number is only terminated by the character that follows it. That character is read from the stream to detect the end of the number, and it is **not** put back. When a value that is a number is immediately followed by the next value, the first character of that next value is lost:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
std::istringstream input("1true");
|
|
json j1, j2;
|
|
input >> j1; // j1 == 1
|
|
input >> j2; // throws parse_error.101: the stream now starts at "rue"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Separating the values with whitespace avoids this, because the character that is eaten is then the separator:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
std::istringstream input("1 true");
|
|
json j1, j2;
|
|
input >> j1; // j1 == 1
|
|
input >> j2; // j2 == true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Only numbers are affected. Values ending in a self-delimiting character do not read past themselves, so `truefalse`, `[1][2]`, `{"a":1}{"b":2}`, and `"a""b"` can be read back to back without a separator.
|
|
|
|
This is tracked in [#5340](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/5340).
|
|
|
|
Note that reading concatenated values does **not** work for [JSON Lines](https://json.nlohmann.me/features/parsing/json_lines/index.md) (newline-delimited JSON) input -- see that page for why and for the recommended alternative.
|
|
|
|
Deprecation
|
|
|
|
This function replaces function `std::istream& operator<<(basic_json& j, std::istream& i)` which has been deprecated in version 3.0.0. It will be removed in version 4.0.0. Please replace calls like `j << i;` with `i >> j;`.

## Examples

|
Example
|
|
|
|
The example below shows how a JSON value is constructed by reading a serialization from a stream.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
#include <iostream>
|
|
#include <iomanip>
|
|
#include <sstream>
|
|
#include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
|
|
|
|
using json = nlohmann::json;
|
|
|
|
int main()
|
|
{
|
|
// create stream with serialized JSON
|
|
std::stringstream ss;
|
|
ss << R"({
|
|
"number": 23,
|
|
"string": "Hello, world!",
|
|
"array": [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
|
|
"boolean": false,
|
|
"null": null
|
|
})";
|
|
|
|
// create JSON value and read the serialization from the stream
|
|
json j;
|
|
ss >> j;
|
|
|
|
// serialize JSON
|
|
std::cout << std::setw(2) << j << '\n';
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Output:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
{
|
|
"array": [
|
|
1,
|
|
2,
|
|
3,
|
|
4,
|
|
5
|
|
],
|
|
"boolean": false,
|
|
"null": null,
|
|
"number": 23,
|
|
"string": "Hello, world!"
|
|
}
|
|
```
