JSON for Modern C++  2.0.3

§ count()

template<template< typename U, typename V, typename... Args > class ObjectType = std::map, template< typename U, typename... Args > class ArrayType = std::vector, class StringType = std::string, class BooleanType = bool, class NumberIntegerType = std::int64_t, class NumberUnsignedType = std::uint64_t, class NumberFloatType = double, template< typename U > class AllocatorType = std::allocator>
size_type nlohmann::basic_json::count ( typename object_t::key_type  key) const
inline

Returns the number of elements with key key. If ObjectType is the default std::map type, the return value will always be 0 (key was not found) or 1 (key was found).

Parameters
[in]keykey value of the element to count
Returns
Number of elements with key key. If the JSON value is not an object, the return value will be 0.
Complexity
Logarithmic in the size of the JSON object.
Example
The example shows how count() is used.
1 #include <json.hpp>
2 
3 using json = nlohmann::json;
4 
5 int main()
6 {
7  // create a JSON object
8  json j_object = {{"one", 1}, {"two", 2}};
9 
10  // call find
11  auto count_two = j_object.count("two");
12  auto count_three = j_object.count("three");
13 
14  // print values
15  std::cout << "number of elements with key \"two\": " << count_two << '\n';
16  std::cout << "number of elements with key \"three\": " << count_three << '\n';
17 }

Output (play with this example online):
number of elements with key "two": 1
number of elements with key "three": 0
