Defined in header <fkYAML/node.hpp>

fkyaml::basic_node::type

node_t type() const noexcept;

Deprecation

The function node_type get_type() replaces the function basic_node::node_t type() which has been deprecated in version 0.3.12. It will be removed in version 0.4.0. Please replace calls like

fkyaml::node::node_t t = n.type();

with

fkyaml::node_type t = n.get_type();

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

Return Value

The type of the YAML node value.

Value Type	Return Value
sequence	node_t::SEQUENCE
mapping	node_t::MAPPING
null	node_t::NULL_OBJECT
boolean	node_t::BOOLEAN
integer	node_t::INTEGER
floating point number	node_t::FLOAT_NUMBER
string	node_t::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!";

    // call type()
    std::cout << std::boolalpha;
    std::cout << (sequence_node.type() == fkyaml::node::node_t::SEQUENCE) << std::endl;
    std::cout << (mapping_node.type() == fkyaml::node::node_t::MAPPING) << std::endl;
    std::cout << (null_node.type() == fkyaml::node::node_t::NULL_OBJECT) << std::endl;
    std::cout << (boolean_node.type() == fkyaml::node::node_t::BOOLEAN) << std::endl;
    std::cout << (integer_node.type() == fkyaml::node::node_t::INTEGER) << std::endl;
    std::cout << (float_node.type() == fkyaml::node::node_t::FLOAT_NUMBER) << std::endl;
    std::cout << (string_node.type() == fkyaml::node::node_t::STRING) << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

output:

true
true
true
true
true
true
true
