# <small>nlohmann::basic_json::</small>find
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// (1)
|
|
iterator find(const typename object_t::key_type& key);
|
|
const_iterator find(const typename object_t::key_type& key) const;
|
|
|
|
// (2)
|
|
template<typename KeyType>
|
|
iterator find(KeyType&& key);
|
|
template<typename KeyType>
|
|
const_iterator find(KeyType&& key) const;
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
1. Finds an element in a JSON object with a key equivalent to `key`. If the element is not found or the
|
|
JSON value is not an object, `end()` is returned.
|
|
2. See 1. This overload is only available if `KeyType` is comparable with `#!cpp typename object_t::key_type` and
|
|
`#!cpp typename object_comparator_t::is_transparent` denotes a type.
|
|
|
|
## Template parameters
|
|
|
|
`KeyType`
|
|
: A type for an object key other than [`json_pointer`](../json_pointer/index.md) that is comparable with
|
|
[`string_t`](string_t.md) using [`object_comparator_t`](object_comparator_t.md).
|
|
This can also be a string view (C++17).
|
|
|
|
## Parameters
|
|
|
|
`key` (in)
|
|
: key value of the element to search for.
|
|
|
|
## Return value
|
|
|
|
Iterator to an element with a key equivalent to `key`. If no such element is found or the JSON value is not an object,
|
|
a past-the-end iterator (see `end()`) is returned.
|
|
|
|
## Exception safety
|
|
|
|
Strong exception safety: if an exception occurs, the original value stays intact.
|
|
|
|
## Complexity
|
|
|
|
Logarithmic in the size of the JSON object.
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- This method always returns `end()` when executed on a JSON type that is not an object.
|
|
- Calling this function with an integer argument (for example, `#!cpp find(0)`) does not compile: such an argument
|
|
would otherwise implicitly convert to a null `#!cpp const char*` and, from there, cause undefined behavior when
|
|
constructing a `#!cpp std::string` for the object key. To access an array element instead, use [`at`](at.md),
|
|
[`operator[]`](operator%5B%5D.md), or compare against [`size`](size.md).
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
??? example "Example: (1) find object element by key"
|
|
|
|
The example shows how `find()` is used.
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
--8<-- "examples/find__object_t_key_type.cpp"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Output:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
--8<-- "examples/find__object_t_key_type.output"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
??? example "Example: (2) find object element by key using string_view"
|
|
|
|
The example shows how `find()` is used.
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
--8<-- "examples/find__keytype.c++17.cpp"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Output:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
--8<-- "examples/find__keytype.c++17.output"
|
|
```
|
|
|

## Version history
|
|
|
|
1. Added in version 3.11.0.
|
|
2. Added in version 1.0.0. Changed to support comparable types in version 3.11.0.
|
|
3. Deleted overloads for integral key types added in version 3.13.0 to reject such calls at compile time instead of
|
|
causing undefined behavior at runtime.
