static basic_json nlohmann::basic_json::object ( std::initializer_list< basic_json init = std::initializer_list<basic_json< ObjectType, ArrayType, StringType, BooleanType, NumberIntegerType, NumberUnsignedType, NumberFloatType, AllocatorType >>())
inlinestatic

Creates a JSON object value from a given initializer list. The initializer lists elements must be pairs, and their first elements must be strings. If the initializer list is empty, the empty object {} is created.

Note
This function is only added for symmetry reasons. In contrast to the related function array(std::initializer_list<basic_json>), there are no cases which can only be expressed by this function. That is, any initializer list init can also be passed to the initializer list constructor basic_json(std::initializer_list<basic_json>, bool, value_t).
Parameters
[in]initinitializer list to create an object from (optional)
Returns
JSON object value
Exceptions
std::domain_errorif init is not a pair whose first elements are strings; thrown by basic_json(std::initializer_list<basic_json>, bool, value_t)
Complexity
Linear in the size of init.
Example
The following code shows an example for the object function.
1 #include <json.hpp>
2 
3 using json = nlohmann::json;
4 
5 int main()
6 {
7  // create JSON objects
8  json j_no_init_list = json::object();
9  json j_empty_init_list = json::object({});
10  json j_list_of_pairs = json::object({ {"one", 1}, {"two", 2} });
11  //json j_invalid_list = json::object({ "one", 1 }); // would throw
12 
13  // serialize the JSON objects
14  std::cout << j_no_init_list << '\n';
15  std::cout << j_empty_init_list << '\n';
16  std::cout << j_list_of_pairs << '\n';
17 }
