Value with spaces cannot be parsed

[oleksandrlynda]

I cannot parse simple JSON if it has spaces in the value:
{"testKey":"Value with spaces"}

I have exception:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'nlohmann::detail::parse_error'
what(): [json.exception.parse_error.101] parse error at line 1, column 18: syntax error while parsing value - invalid string: missing closing quote; last read: '"Value'

Version: 3.9.1

Also I can create this json using this library but cannot read it.

My system is: Linux o3 5.8.0-53-generic #60~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Data is parsed like that:

        std::ifstream i(path);
        std::string data;
        i >> data;
        nlohmann::json rootJson = nlohmann::json::parse(data);

Your code does not read the complete file into the string, but only until the first space is read. This is not related to this library.

If I output data before parsing, I get the following output:

{"testKey":"Value

Then, the error message makes sense, because indeed a closing quote is missing.

The following works:

#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include "json.hpp"

int main()
{
    std::string path = "/Users/niels/Downloads/prov.txt";
    std::ifstream i(path);
    nlohmann::json rootJson = nlohmann::json::parse(i);
    std::cout << rootJson << std::endl;
}

Output:

{"testKey":"Value with spaces"}

Great, thanks for the help.
