With my tree looking like this:
{
"Library":
{
"L_ID": "1",
"Book":
{
"B_ID": "1",
"Title": "Moby Dick"
},
"Book":
{
"B_ID": "2",
"Title": "Jurassic Park"
}
},
"Library":
{
"L_ID": "2",
"Book":
{
"B_ID": "1",
"Title": "Velocity"
},
"Book":
{
"B_ID": "2",
"Title": "Creeper"
}
}
}
What i am looking to do is iterate through the libraries. When i find the L_ID that i am looking for, iterate through the books until i find the B_ID i'm looking for. At that point, i'd like to access all the leaves in that section. I.e. looking for library 2, book 1, title Note: There's likely a better way than this.
boost::property_tree::ptree libraries = config_.get_child("Library");
for (const auto &lib : libraries)
{
if (lib.second.get<uint16_6>("L_ID") == 2)
{
//at this point, i know i'm the correct library...
boost::property_tree::ptree books = lib.get_child("Book");
for (const auto &book : books)
{
if (book.second.get<uint16_t>("B_ID") == 1)
{
std::string mybook = book.second.get<std::string>("Title");
}
}
}
I fail out as soon as i try looking into my first sub tree. What's going wrong here??
