Print JSON with matching key - RapidJSON

Question

I'm trying to print from a JSON only the values that matching some keys:

#include "rapidjson/document.h"
#include "rapidjson/writer.h"
#include "rapidjson/stringbuffer.h"
#include <iostream>

using namespace rapidjson;

char* kTypeNames[] = { "First", "text", "print", "key" };

int main() {
// 1. Parse a JSON string into DOM.
const char json[] =
" { \"First\" : \"a\", \"text\" : \"b\" ,\"key\" : \"hello\" ,
\"print\" : \"1\",\"print\" : \"2\",\"no_key\" : \"2\"} ";
// ...
Document document;
document.Parse(json);

printf(json);

printf("\nAccess values in document:\n");
assert(document.IsObject());

for (Value::ConstMemberIterator itr = document.MemberBegin();
itr !=document.MemberEnd(); ++itr)
{
    //how to print element that matches with kTypeNames array?
}
}

Keys needed are First, text, print and key, and I want to ignore no_key value. So I want to print only a, b, hello, 1 and do not print 2.

I'm looking and the documentation trying to find out how to do it.

Thanks

You don't need to iterate each member and see if it matches in the 'key' list. Rather use document.HasMember() to see if the key exists.

#include "rapidjson/document.h"
#include "rapidjson/writer.h"
#include "rapidjson/stringbuffer.h"
#include <iostream>

using namespace rapidjson;

const char* kTypeNames[] = { "First", "text", "print", "key" };

int main() {
    // 1. Parse a JSON string into DOM.
    const char json[] =
        " { \"First\" : \"a\", \"text\" : \"b\" ,\"key\" : \"hello\" ,\"print\" : \"1\",\"print\" : \"2\",\"no_key\" : \"2\"} ";
    // ...
    Document document;
    document.Parse(json);

    printf(json);

    printf("\nAccess values in document:\n");
    assert(document.IsObject());

  //For each type in ktypenames, see if json has member

    for (auto Typename : kTypeNames) {
        if (document.HasMember(Typename)) {
            std::cout << Typename << ":" << document[Typename].GetString() << std::endl;
        }

    }
}
