Cinder-Dictionary
Work-in-progress class to support string-to-any maps with a convenient syntax.
#####Usage
You can convert json into a Dictionary. For example the following:
{
"a" : 2,
"b" : 3.14,
"c" : "kite",
"nested" : {
"blah" : "When will it snow?",
"days" : 204
},
"mixedArray" : [1.5, 0, "blue"],
"oddNumbers" : [1, 3, 5, 7]
}Can be loaded and queried like:
auto dict = mason::Dictionary::convert<Json::Value>( loadFile( filePath ) );
// get values by type
int a = dict.get<int>( "a" );
float b = dict.get<float>( "b" );
string c = dict.get<string>( "c" );
// nested Dictionary, copied
auto nested = dict.get<ma::Dictionary>( "nested" );
// nested Dictionary without copying
const auto &nestedRef = dict.getStrict<ma::Dictionary>( "nested" );
// vector with mixed types
auto mixedArray = dict.get<vector<boost::any>>( "mixedArray" );
// vector with uniform elemnt types
auto oddNumbers = dict.get<vector<int>>( "oddNumbers" );
