Parse a buffer containing a complete JSON.

Synopsis

std::size_t
write(
    char const* data,
    std::size_t size,
    std::error_code& ec);

Description

This function parses a complete JSON contained in the specified character buffer. The entire buffer must be consumed; if there are additional characters past the end of the complete JSON, the parse fails and an error is returned.

Example

parser p;                                       // construct a parser
size_t n = p.write( "[1,2,3]" );                // parse a complete JSON
assert( n == 7 );                               // all characters consumed
value jv = p.release();                         // take ownership of the value

Complexity

Linear in size.

Exception Safety

Basic guarantee. Calls to memory_resource::allocate may throw. Upon error or exception, subsequent calls will fail until reset is called to parse a new JSON.

Return Value

The number of characters consumed from the buffer.
