JSON for Modern C++  3.9.0

◆ swap

void swap ( reference  left,
reference  right 
)
friend

Exchanges the contents of the JSON value from left with those of right. Does not invoke any move, copy, or swap operations on individual elements. All iterators and references remain valid. The past-the-end iterator is invalidated. implemented as a friend function callable via ADL.

Parameters
[in,out]leftJSON value to exchange the contents with
[in,out]rightJSON value to exchange the contents with
Complexity
Constant.
Example
The example below shows how JSON values can be swapped with swap().
1 #include <iostream>
2 #include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
3 
4 using json = nlohmann::json;
5 
6 int main()
7 {
8  // create two JSON values
9  json j1 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
10  json j2 = {{"pi", 3.141592653589793}, {"e", 2.718281828459045}};
11 
12  // swap the values
13  j1.swap(j2);
14 
15  // output the values
16  std::cout << "j1 = " << j1 << '\n';
17  std::cout << "j2 = " << j2 << '\n';
18 }

Output (play with this example online):
j1 = {"e":2.718281828459045,"pi":3.141592653589793}
j2 = [1,2,3,4,5]
