Defined in header <fkYAML/node.hpp>

fkyaml::basic_node::get_type

node_type get_type() const noexcept;

Returns the type of the YAML node value as a value from the node_type enumeration.

Return Value

The type of the YAML node value.

Value Type Return Value
sequence node_type::SEQUENCE
mapping node_type::MAPPING
null node_type::NULL_OBJECT
boolean node_type::BOOLEAN
integer node_type::INTEGER
floating point number node_type::FLOAT
string node_type::STRING
Example
#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <fkYAML/node.hpp>

int main() {
    // create YAML nodes.
    fkyaml::node sequence_node = {1, 2, 3};
    fkyaml::node mapping_node = {{"foo", true}, {"bar", false}};
    fkyaml::node null_node;
    fkyaml::node boolean_node = true;
    fkyaml::node integer_node = 256;
    fkyaml::node float_node = 3.14;
    fkyaml::node string_node = "Hello, world!";

    // query node value types by calling get_type().
    std::cout << std::boolalpha;
    std::cout << (sequence_node.get_type() == fkyaml::node_type::SEQUENCE) << std::endl;
    std::cout << (mapping_node.get_type() == fkyaml::node_type::MAPPING) << std::endl;
    std::cout << (null_node.get_type() == fkyaml::node_type::NULL_OBJECT) << std::endl;

    std::cout << (string_node.get_type() == fkyaml::node_type::STRING) << std::endl;

    return 0;

output:
