try_value_to

Convert a value to a result of T.

Synopsis

Defined in header <boost/json/value_to.hpp>

template<
    class T>
result_for< T, value >::type
try_value_to(
    const value& jv);
Description

This function attempts to convert a value to result<T> using

Out of the box the function supports types satisfying SequenceContainer, arrays, arithmetic types, bool, std::tuple, std::pair, std::variant, std::optional, std::monostate, and std::nullopt_t. Conversion of other types is done by calling an overload of tag_invoke found by argument-dependent lookup. Its signature should be similar to:

result<T> tag_invoke( try_value_to_tag<T>, value const& );

If an error occurs during conversion, the result will store the error code associated with the error. If an exception is thrown, the function will attempt to retrieve the associated error code and return it, otherwise it will return error::exception.

Constraints
! std::is_reference< T >::value
Exception Safety

Strong guarantee.
