is_map_like

Determine if T can be treated like a 1-to-1 mapping during conversions.

Synopsis

Defined in header <boost/json/conversion.hpp>

template<
    class T>
struct is_map_like
Description

Given t, a glvalue of type T, if

then the trait provides the member constant value that is equal to true. Otherwise, value is equal to false.

Users can specialize the trait for their own types if they don't want them to be treated like mappings. For example:

namespace boost {
namespace json {

template <>
struct is_map_like<your::map> : std::false_type
{ };

} // namespace boost
} // namespace json
Remarks

The restriction for t.emplace() return type ensures that the container does not accept duplicate keys.

Types satisfying the trait

std::map, std::unordered_map.
