The csv extension implements decode from and encode to the CSV format
For the examples below you need to include some header files and initialize a string of CSV data:
#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <jsoncons/json.hpp>
#include <jsoncons_ext/csv/csv.hpp>
const std::string data = R"(index_id,observation_date,rate
EUR_LIBOR_06M,2015-10-23,0.0000214
EUR_LIBOR_06M,2015-10-26,0.0000143
EUR_LIBOR_06M,2015-10-27,0.0000001
)";jsoncons allows you to work with the CSV data similarly to JSON data:
-
As a variant-like data structure, basic_json
-
As a strongly typed C++ data structure that implements json_type_traits
-
With cursor-level access to a stream of parse events
int main()
{
csv::csv_options options;
options.assume_header(true);
// Parse the CSV data into an ojson value
ojson j = csv::decode_csv<ojson>(data, options);
// Pretty print
json_options print_options;
print_options.float_format(float_chars_format::fixed);
std::cout << "(1)\n" << pretty_print(j, print_options) << "\n\n";
// Iterate over the rows
std::cout << "(2)\n";
for (const auto& row : j.array_range())
{
// Access rated as string and rating as double
std::cout << row["index_id"].as<std::string>() << ", "
<< row["observation_date"].as<std::string>() << ", "
<< row["rate"].as<double>() << "\n";
}
}Output:
(1)

jsoncons supports transforming CSV data into C++ data structures. The functions decode_csv and encode_csv convert strings or streams of CSV data to C++ data structures and back. Decode and encode work for all C++ classes that have json_type_traits defined. jsoncons already supports many types in the standard library, and your own types will be supported too if you specialize json_type_traits in the jsoncons namespace.

You can use a staj_array_iterator to group the CSV parse events into basic_json records:
int main()
{
csv::csv_options options;
options.assume_header(true);
csv::csv_string_cursor cursor(data, options);
auto view = staj_array<ojson>(cursor);
json_options print_options;
print_options.float_format(float_chars_format::fixed);
for (const auto& item : view)
{
std::cout << pretty_print(item, print_options) << "\n";
}
}Output:
{
"index_id": "EUR_LIBOR_06M",
"observation_date": "2015-10-23",
"rate": 0.0000214
}
{
"index_id": "EUR_LIBOR_06M",
"observation_date": "2015-10-26",
"rate": 0.0000143
}
{
"index_id": "EUR_LIBOR_06M",
"observation_date": "2015-10-27",
"rate": 0.0000001
}
Or into strongly typed records:
int main()
{
using record_type = std::tuple<std::string,std::string,double>;
csv::csv_options options;
options.assume_header(true);
csv::csv_string_cursor cursor(data, options);
auto view = staj_array<record_type>(cursor);
std::cout << std::fixed << std::setprecision(7);
for (const auto& record : view)
{
std::cout << std::get<0>(record) << ", " << std::get<1>(record) << ", " << std::get<2>(record) << "\n";
}
