If you just want to serialize/deserialize some structs, the `to_json`/`from_json` functions can be a lot of boilerplate.
There are two macros to make your life easier as long as you (1) want to use a JSON object as serialization and (2) want to use the member variable names as object keys in that object:
There are four macros to make your life easier as long as you (1) want to use a JSON object as serialization and (2) want to use the member variable names as object keys in that object:
- `NLOHMANN_DEFINE_TYPE_NON_INTRUSIVE(name, member1, member2, ...)` is to be defined inside the namespace of the class/struct to create code for.
- `NLOHMANN_DEFINE_TYPE_INTRUSIVE(name, member1, member2, ...)` is to be defined inside the class/struct to create code for. This macro can also access private members.
- `NLOHMANN_DEFINE_TYPE_NON_INTRUSIVE_WITH_DEFAULT(name, member1, member2, ...)` is to be defined inside the namespace of the class/struct to create code for.
- `NLOHMANN_DEFINE_TYPE_INTRUSIVE_WITH_DEFAULT(name, member1, member2, ...)` is to be defined inside the class/struct to create code for. This macro can also access private members.
In both macros, the first parameter is the name of the class/struct, and all remaining parameters name the members.
In all macros, the first parameter is the name of the class/struct, and all remaining parameters name the members. You can read more docs about them starting from [here](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/blob/develop/doc/mkdocs/docs/features/macros.md#nlohmann_define_type_intrusivetype-member).
!!! note
At most 64 member variables can be passed to `NLOHMANN_DEFINE_TYPE_NON_INTRUSIVE` or `NLOHMANN_DEFINE_TYPE_INTRUSIVE`.
At most 64 member variables can be passed to these macros.
??? example
The `to_json`/`from_json` functions for the `person` struct above can be created with:
```cpp
namespace ns {
NLOHMANN_DEFINE_TYPE_NON_INTRUSIVE(person, name, address, age)
}
```
Here is an example with private members, where `NLOHMANN_DEFINE_TYPE_INTRUSIVE` is needed:
```cpp
namespace ns {
class address {

This macro is similar to `NLOHMANN_DEFINE_TYPE_INTRUSIVE` but will throw no exceptions. When converting JSON object to type object, if any field is missing in JSON object, it will use default value constructed by the type itself.
