DAW JSON Link

Many types can be deduced without being explicitly mapped to a JSON type (string, number, bool, object, or array). This allows one to use them directly in places that don't require a member name (e.g. a json_array element type) or with the json_link<Name, Type> mapping type. The first matching mapping is used, in the following order:
json_data_contract specialization. An explicit mapping always takes precedence over any deduced mapping, including the default mapping for empty types.| Type | Mapped To | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| std:string_view | json_string_raw | |
| std::string | json_string | |
| bool | json_bool | |
| Integer | json_number | Uses std::numeric_limits. json_number optimized for Signed/Unsigned integers |
| Enum | json_number | Used std::is_enum and std::underlying_type |
| Floating point | json_number | Uses std::numeric_limits |
| Associative Container | json_key_value_map | Has begin()/end()/key_type/mapped_type and constructable with two iterators |
| readable values | The value_type in the readable mapping of T with a json_null wrapped around T's deduced mapping. See the readable value cookbook item | |
| Containers | json_array | Excluding associative containers. Uses value_type as the type for each element |
| Empty default-constructible types | Empty JSON object | Used only when no explicit mapping exists; serializes as {} |
