iterate and retrieve nested object in JSON using rapidjson

Question

I am parsing a JSON structure which is similar as follows

{
    \"item1\" : \"value1\"
    \"item2\" : \"value2\"
    // ...
    \"itemn\" : {

This is something I recently worked on:

void enter(const Value &obj, size_t indent = 0) { //print JSON tree

if (obj.IsObject()) { //check if object
    for (Value::ConstMemberIterator itr = obj.MemberBegin(); itr != obj.MemberEnd(); ++itr) {   //iterate through object   
        const Value& objName = obj[itr->name.GetString()]; //make object value

        for (size_t i = 0; i != indent; ++i) //indent
            cout << " ";

        cout << itr->name.GetString() << ": "; //key name

        if (itr->value.IsNumber()) //if integer
            std::cout << itr->value.GetInt() ;

        else if (itr->value.IsString()) //if string
            std::cout << itr->value.GetString();


        else if (itr->value.IsBool()) //if bool
            std::cout << itr->value.GetBool();

        else if (itr->value.IsArray()){ //if array

            for (SizeType i = 0; i < itr->value.Size(); i++) {
                if (itr->value[i].IsNumber()) //if array value integer
                    std::cout << itr->value[i].GetInt() ;

                else if (itr->value[i].IsString()) //if array value string
                    std::cout << itr->value[i].GetString() ;

                else if (itr->value[i].IsBool()) //if array value bool
                    std::cout << itr->value[i].GetBool() ;

                else if (itr->value[i].IsObject()){ //if array value object
                    cout << "\n  ";
                    const Value& m = itr->value[i]; 
                    for (auto& v : m.GetObject()) { //iterate through array object
                        if (m[v.name.GetString()].IsString()) //if array object value is string
                            cout << v.name.GetString() << ": " <<   m[v.name.GetString()].GetString();
                        else //if array object value is integer
                            cout << v.name.GetString() << ": "  <<  m[v.name.GetString()].GetInt();

                       cout <<  "\t"; //indent
                    }
                }
                cout <<  "\t"; //indent
            }
        }

        cout << endl; 
        enter(objName, indent + 1); //if couldn't find in object, enter object and repeat process recursively 
        }     
 }
 }

This can handle any type of JSON tree. All you have to do is pass a Value as such:

Value v = document.GetObject();
Value& m= v;
enter(m);

And you're done!
