Defined in header <fkYAML/node.hpp>

fkyaml::basic_node::type

node_t type() const noexcept;

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;
