Detailed Description

template<typename ValueType, typename Allocator = CrtAllocator>
class GenericPointer< ValueType, Allocator >

Represents a JSON Pointer. Use Pointer for UTF8 encoding and default allocator.

This class implements RFC 6901 "JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Pointer" (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901).

A JSON pointer is for identifying a specific value in a JSON document (GenericDocument). It can simplify coding of DOM tree manipulation, because it can access multiple-level depth of DOM tree with single API call.

After it parses a string representation (e.g. "/foo/0" or URI fragment representation (e.g. "#/foo/0") into its internal representation (tokens), it can be used to resolve a specific value in multiple documents, or sub-tree of documents.

Contrary to GenericValue, Pointer can be copy constructed and copy assigned. Apart from assignment, a Pointer cannot be modified after construction.

Although Pointer is very convenient, please aware that constructing Pointer involves parsing and dynamic memory allocation. A special constructor with user- supplied tokens eliminates these.

GenericPointer depends on GenericDocument and GenericValue.

Template Parameters

ValueType	The value type of the DOM tree. E.g. GenericValue<UTF8<> >
Allocator	The allocator type for allocating memory for internal representation.

Note: GenericPointer uses same encoding of ValueType. However, Allocator of GenericPointer is independent of Allocator of Value.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

§ GenericPointer() [1/3]

template<typename ValueType, typename Allocator = CrtAllocator>

GenericPointer< ValueType, Allocator >::GenericPointer	(	const Ch *	source,
		Allocator *	allocator = `0`
	)

inlineexplicit

Constructor that parses a string or URI fragment representation.

Parameters

source	A null-terminated, string or URI fragment representation of JSON pointer.
allocator	User supplied allocator for this pointer. If no allocator is provided, it creates a self-owned one.

§ GenericPointer() [2/3]

template<typename ValueType, typename Allocator = CrtAllocator>

GenericPointer< ValueType, Allocator >::GenericPointer	(	const Ch *	source,
		size_t	length,
		Allocator *	allocator = `0`
	)

inline

Constructor that parses a string or URI fragment representation, with length of the source string.

Parameters

source	A string or URI fragment representation of JSON pointer.
length	Length of source.
allocator	User supplied allocator for this pointer. If no allocator is provided, it creates a self-owned one.

Note: Slightly faster than the overload without length.

§ GenericPointer() [3/3]

template<typename ValueType, typename Allocator = CrtAllocator>

GenericPointer< ValueType, Allocator >::GenericPointer	(	const Token *	tokens,
		size_t	tokenCount
	)

inline

Constructor with user-supplied tokens.

This constructor let user supplies const array of tokens. This prevents the parsing process and eliminates allocation. This is preferred for memory constrained environments.

Parameters

tokens	An constant array of tokens representing the JSON pointer.
tokenCount	Number of tokens.

Example

#define NAME(s) { s, sizeof(s) / sizeof(s[0]) - 1, kPointerInvalidIndex }
#define INDEX(i) { #i, sizeof(#i) - 1, i }
static const Pointer::Token kTokens[] = { NAME("foo"), INDEX(123) };
static const Pointer p(kTokens, sizeof(kTokens) / sizeof(kTokens[0]));
// Equivalent to static const Pointer p("/foo/123");
#undef NAME
#undef INDEX

§ Append() [1/2]

template<typename ValueType, typename Allocator = CrtAllocator>

GenericPointer GenericPointer< ValueType, Allocator >::Append	(	const Token &	token,
		Allocator *	allocator = `0`
	)		const

inline

Append a token and return a new Pointer.

Parameters

token	Token to be appended.
allocator	Allocator for the newly return Pointer.

Returns: A new Pointer with appended token.

§ Append() [2/2]

template<typename ValueType, typename Allocator = CrtAllocator>

GenericPointer GenericPointer< ValueType, Allocator >::Append	(	const Ch *	name,
		SizeType	length,
		Allocator *	allocator = `0`
	)		const

inline

Append a name token with length, and return a new Pointer.

Parameters

name	Name to be appended.
length	Length of name.
allocator	Allocator for the newly return Pointer.

Returns: A new Pointer with appended token.

§ Erase()

template<typename ValueType, typename Allocator = CrtAllocator>

bool GenericPointer< ValueType, Allocator >::Erase ( ValueType & root ) const

inline

Erase a value in a subtree.

Parameters

root	Root value of a DOM sub-tree to be resolved. It can be any value other than document root.

Returns: Whether the resolved value is found and erased.

Note: Erasing with an empty pointer Pointer(""), i.e. the root, always fail and return false.

§ RAPIDJSON_DISABLEIF_RETURN() [1/3]

template<typename ValueType, typename Allocator = CrtAllocator>

template<typename T >

GenericPointer< ValueType, Allocator >::RAPIDJSON_DISABLEIF_RETURN	(	(internal::NotExpr< internal::IsSame< typename internal::RemoveConst< T >::Type, Ch > >)	,
		(GenericPointer< ValueType, Allocator >)
	)

Append a name token without length, and return a new Pointer.

Parameters

name	Name (const Ch*) to be appended.
allocator	Allocator for the newly return Pointer.

Returns: A new Pointer with appended token.

§ RAPIDJSON_DISABLEIF_RETURN() [2/3]

template<typename ValueType, typename Allocator = CrtAllocator>

template<typename T >

GenericPointer< ValueType, Allocator >::RAPIDJSON_DISABLEIF_RETURN	(	(internal::OrExpr< internal::IsPointer< T >, internal::IsGenericValue< T > >)	,
		(ValueType &)
	)

Set a primitive value in a subtree.

Template Parameters

T	Either Type, `int`, `unsigned`, `int64_t`, `uint64_t`, `bool`

§ RAPIDJSON_DISABLEIF_RETURN() [3/3]

template<typename ValueType, typename Allocator = CrtAllocator>

template<typename T , typename stackAllocator >

GenericPointer< ValueType, Allocator >::RAPIDJSON_DISABLEIF_RETURN	(	(internal::OrExpr< internal::IsPointer< T >, internal::IsGenericValue< T > >)	,
		(ValueType &)
	)

Set a primitive value in a document.

Template Parameters

T	Either Type, `int`, `unsigned`, `int64_t`, `uint64_t`, `bool`

§ Set()

template<typename ValueType, typename Allocator = CrtAllocator>

ValueType& GenericPointer< ValueType, Allocator >::Set	(	ValueType &	root,
		ValueType &	value,
		typename ValueType::AllocatorType &	allocator
	)		const

inline

Set a value in a subtree, with move semantics.

It creates all parents if they are not exist or types are different to the tokens. So this function always succeeds but potentially remove existing values.

Parameters

root	Root value of a DOM sub-tree to be resolved. It can be any value other than document root.
value	Value to be set.
allocator	Allocator for creating the values if the specified value or its parents are not exist.

See also: Create()

§ Swap()

template<typename ValueType, typename Allocator = CrtAllocator>

ValueType& GenericPointer< ValueType, Allocator >::Swap	(	ValueType &	root,
		ValueType &	value,
		typename ValueType::AllocatorType &	allocator
	)		const

inline

Swap a value with a value in a subtree.

It creates all parents if they are not exist or types are different to the tokens. So this function always succeeds but potentially remove existing values.

Parameters

root	Root value of a DOM sub-tree to be resolved. It can be any value other than document root.
value	Value to be swapped.
allocator	Allocator for creating the values if the specified value or its parents are not exist.
