Type-specific getters

These functions only work on their corresponding Element type.

For all other types, a TypeError is thrown. If you want an exception-safe getter method, use getValue() below

virtual int64_t intValue () const
 
virtual double doubleValue () const
 
virtual bool boolValue () const
 
virtual std::string stringValue () const
 
virtual const std::vector< ElementPtr > & listValue () const
 
virtual const std::map< std::string, ConstElementPtr > & mapValue () const
 
Exception-safe getters

The getValue() functions return false if the given reference is of another type than the element contains By default it always returns false; the derived classes override the function for their type, copying their data to the given reference and returning true

virtual bool getValue (int64_t &t) const
 
virtual bool getValue (double &t) const
 
virtual bool getValue (bool &t) const
 
virtual bool getValue (std::string &t) const
 
virtual bool getValue (std::vector< ElementPtr > &t) const
 
virtual bool getValue (std::map< std::string, ConstElementPtr > &t) const
 
Exception-safe setters.

Return false if the Element is not the right type.

Set the value and return true if the Elements is of the correct type

Direct factory functions

These functions simply wrap the given data directly in an Element object, and return a reference to it, in the form of an ElementPtr.

These factory functions are exception-free (unless there is no memory available, in which case bad_alloc is raised by the underlying system). (Note that that is different from an NullElement, which represents an empty value, and is created with Element::create())

Detailed Description

The Element class represents a piece of data, used by the command channel and configuration parts.

An Element can contain simple types (int, real, string, bool and None), and composite types (list and string->element maps)

Elements should in calling functions usually be referenced through an ElementPtr, which can be created using the factory functions Element::create() and Element::fromJSON()

Notes to developers: Element is a base class, implemented by a specific subclass for each type (IntElement, BoolElement, etc). Element does define all functions for all types, and defaults to raising a TypeError for functions that are not supported for the type in question.

pure virtual
ConstElementPtr isc::data::Element::find ( const std::string &  identifier) const
virtual

Recursively finds any data at the given identifier.

The identifier is a /-separated list of names of nested maps, with the last name being the leaf that is returned.

For instance, if you have a MapElement that contains another MapElement at the key "foo", and that second MapElement contains Another Element at key "bar", the identifier for that last element from the first is "foo/bar".

Parameters
identifierThe identifier of the element to find
Returns
The ElementPtr at the given identifier. Returns a null ElementPtr if it is not found, which can be checked with Element::is_null(ElementPtr e).

input text preprocessor

This method performs preprocessing of the input stream (which is expected to contain a text version of to be parsed JSON). For now the sole supported operation is bash-style (line starting with #) comment removal, but it will be extended later to cover more cases (C, C++ style comments, file inclusions, maybe macro replacements?).

This method processes the whole input stream. It reads all contents of the input stream, filters the content and returns the result in a different stream.

ininput stream to be preprocessed
