BloombergLP::baljsn::Formatter::openArray

Print the characters that start a JSON array onto the output stream.

Synopsis

Declared in <baljsn_formatter.h>

void
openArray(bool formatAsEmptyArray = false);

Description

Print onto the stream supplied at construction the sequence of characters designating the start of an array (referred to as an "array" in JSON). Optionally specify formatAsEmptyArray denoting if the array being opened should be formatted as an empty array. If formatAsEmptyArray is not specified then the array being opened is formatted as an array having elements. Note that the formatting (and as a consequence the formatAsEmptyArray) is relevant only if this formatter encodes in the pretty style and is ignored otherwise.
