How can I parse JSON arrays with C++ Boost?

问题

I have a file containing some JSON content that looks like:

{
  "frame":
  {
    "id": "0",
    "points":
    [
      [ "0.883", "0.553", "0" ],
      [ "0.441", "0.889", "0" ],
    ]
  },
  "frame":
  ...
}

How do I parse the values of the double array using C++ and Boost ptree?

Use the iterators, Luke.

First , you have to parse the file:

boost::property_tree::ptree doc;
boost::property_tree::read_json("input_file.json", doc);

... now, because it seems you have multiple "frame" keys in the top level dictionary you must iterate over them:

BOOST_FOREACH (boost::property_tree::ptree::value_type& framePair, doc) {
    // Now framePair.first == "frame" and framePair.second is the subtree frame dictionary
} 

Iterating over the rows and columns is the same:

BOOST_FOREACH (boost::property_tree::ptree::value_type& rowPair, frame.get_child("points")) {
    // rowPair.first == ""
    BOOST_FOREACH (boost::property_tree::ptree::value_type& itemPair, rowPair.second) {
        cout << itemPair.second.get_value<std::string>() << " ";
    }
    cout << endl;
}

I didn't test the code, but the idea will work :-)
