bool nlohmann::basic_json::is_number ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

This function returns true iff the JSON value is a number. This includes both integer and floating-point values.

Returns

true if value type is number, false otherwise.

Complexity

Constant.

Example

The following code exemplifies is_number for all JSON value types.

#include <json.hpp>

using namespace nlohmann;

int main()
{
    // create JSON values
    json j_null;
    json j_boolean = true;
    json j_number_integer = 17;
    json j_number_float = 23.42;
    json j_object = {{"one", 1}, {"two", 2}};
    json j_array = {1, 2, 4, 8, 16};
    json j_string = "Hello, world";

    // call is_number()
    std::cout << std::boolalpha;
    std::cout << j_null.is_number() << '\n';
    std::cout << j_boolean.is_number() << '\n';
    std::cout << j_number_integer.is_number() << '\n';
    std::cout << j_number_float.is_number() << '\n';
    std::cout << j_object.is_number() << '\n';
    std::cout << j_array.is_number() << '\n';
    std::cout << j_string.is_number() << '\n';
}

Output:

false
false
true
true
false
false
false
