reading int number and string number

[Behrouz-m]

Hi. I receive a JSON from 2 different places that contain a number. one of them returns JSON with a number and the other returns the same JSON with a number with quotes. like this:

{"state": 0}

or:

{"state": "0"}

the problem is how can I read them with no problem?

What is your exact issue? Deserialization (also know as parsing) is described here: https://github.com/nlohmann/json#serialization--deserialization

my problem is that state can be number and also string that contains number. I want to assign this number to int variable but it is not possible to read it using normal assignment.

json jp = R"({"state": "10"})"_json;
int state = jp["state"]; // return 0 instead of value 10

json jp = R"({"state": 10})"_json;
int state = jp["state"]; // return 10 becuase it is number not string

You can call jp["state"].is_number() or jp["state"].is_string() to check the type.

I know that. I am looking for an easier way instead of checking types for every number type in json. what about jp.get<int>("state") ?

The library does not provide such conversions.
