Parse JSON array as std::string with Boost ptree

Question

I have this code that I need to parse/or get the JSON array as std::string to be used in the app.

std::string ss = \"{ \\\"id\\\" : \\\"123\\\", \\\"number\

Is it possible to get it like '[{ "name" : "some" }, { "name" : "stuffs" }]'

Yes, you can. Just treat it with an "unnamed" key which means the key with empty string.

f.g.

#include 
#include 

#include 

using boost::property_tree::ptree;

int main()
{
    std::stringstream ss;
    ss << R"([{"a": 5}, {"a": 9}])";

    ptree pt;
    read_json(ss, pt);
    for (auto& item : pt.get_child(""))
       std::cout << "value is " << item.second.get("a") << std::endl;
}
