Reading json files in C++

Question

I\'m trying to read in a JSON file. So far I have focused on using the jsoncpp library. However, the documentation is quite hard to understand for me. Could anyone

1. Yes you can create a nested data structure people which can be indexed by Anna and Ben. However, you can't index it directly by age and profession (I will get to this part in the code).

2. The data type of people is of type Json::Value (which is defined in jsoncpp). You are right, it is similar to the nested map, but Value is a data structure which is defined such that multiple types can be stored and accessed. It is similar to a map with a string as the key and Json::Value as the value. It could also be a map between an unsigned int as key and Json::Value as the value (In case of json arrays).

Here's the code:

#include 
#include 

std::ifstream people_file("people.json", std::ifstream::binary);
people_file >> people;

cout<

As you can see, you can index the json object only based on the hierarchy of the input data.
