## Detailed Description

Build a StreamWriter implementation.

Usage:

using namespace Json;
Value value = ...;
StreamWriterBuilder builder;
builder["commentStyle"] = "None";
builder["indentation"] = " "; // or whatever you like
std::unique_ptr<Json::StreamWriter> writer(
builder.newStreamWriter());
writer->write(value, &std::cout);
std::cout << std::endl; // add lf and flush

Exceptions

  std::exception | if something goes wrong (e.g. invalid settings)

Implements Json::StreamWriter::Factory.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

## ◆ operator[]()

Value & Json::StreamWriterBuilder::operator[] | ( | std::string | key | ) |

A simple way to update a specific setting.

Definition at line 1202 of file json_writer.cpp.

## ◆ setDefaults()

void Json::StreamWriterBuilder::setDefaults | ( | Json::Value * | settings | ) |
| static

Called by ctor, but you can use this to reset settings_.

Precondition
  'settings' != NULL (but Json::null is fine)

Remarks
  Defaults:
  (*settings)["commentStyle"] = "All";
  (*settings)["indentation"] = "\t";
  (*settings)["enableYAMLCompatibility"] = false;
  (*settings)["dropNullPlaceholders"] = false;
  (*settings)["useSpecialFloats"] = false;
  (*settings)["precision"] = 17;

## ◆ validate()

bool Json::StreamWriterBuilder::validate | ( | Json::Value * | invalid | ) | const

Returns
  true if 'settings' are legal and consistent; otherwise, indicate bad settings via 'invalid'.

## Member Data Documentation

## ◆ settings_

Json::Value Json::StreamWriterBuilder::settings_

Configuration of this builder.

Available settings (case-sensitive):

- "commentStyle": "None" or "All"
- "indentation": "<anything>"
- "enableYAMLCompatibility": false or true
  - slightly change the whitespace around colons
- "dropNullPlaceholders": false or true
  - Drop the "null" string from the writer's output for nullValues. Strictly speaking, this is not valid JSON. But when the output is being fed to a browser's JavaScript, it makes for smaller output and the browser can handle the output just fine.
- "useSpecialFloats": false or true
  - If true, outputs non-finite floating point values in the following way: NaN values as "NaN", positive infinity as "Infinity", and negative infinity as "-Infinity".

You can examine 'settings_` yourself to see the defaults. You can also write and read them just like any JSON Value.
