JSON Patch defines a JSON document structure for expressing a sequence of operations to apply to a JSON) document. With this funcion, a JSON Patch is applied to the current JSON value by executing all operations from the patch.
- Parameters
-
[in] | json_patch | JSON patch document |
- Returns
- patched document
- Note
- The application of a patch is atomic: Either all operations succeed and the patched document is returned or an exception is thrown. In any case, the original value is not changed: the patch is applied to a copy of the value.
- Exceptions
-
std::out_of_range | if a JSON pointer inside the patch could not be resolved successfully in the current JSON value; example: "key baz
not found" |
invalid_argument | if the JSON patch is malformed (e.g., mandatory attributes are missing); example: "operation add must have member path" |
- Complexity
- Linear in the size of the JSON value and the length of the JSON patch. As usually only a fraction of the JSON value is affected by the patch, the complexity can usually be neglected.
- Example
- The following code shows how a JSON patch is applied to a value.
18 { "op": "replace", "path": "/baz", "value": "boo" }, 19 { "op": "add", "path": "/hello", "value": ["world"] }, 20 { "op": "remove", "path": "/foo"} 25 json patched_doc = doc.patch(patch); 28 std::cout << std::setw(4) << doc << "\n\n" 29 << std::setw(4) << patched_doc << std::endl; basic_json<> json default JSON class
Output (play with this example online): {
"baz": "qux",
"foo": "bar"
}
{
"baz": "boo",
"hello": [
"world"
]
}
The example code above can be translated withg++ -std=c++11 -Isrc doc/examples/patch.cpp -o patch
