🔥 Deprecated functions

Passing iterator pairs or pointer/length pairs to parsing functions (basic_json::parse, basic_json::accept, basic_json::sax_parse, basic_json::from_cbor, basic_json::from_msgpack, basic_json::from_ubjson, basic_json::from_bson) via initializer lists is deprecated. Instead, pass two iterators; for instance, call basic_json::from_cbor(ptr, ptr+len) instead of basic_json::from_cbor({ptr, len}).

The following functions have been deprecated in earlier versions and will be removed in the next major version (i.e., 4.0.0):

• Function iterator_wrapper are deprecated. Please use the member function items() instead.
• Functions friend std::istream& operator<<(basic_json&, std::istream&) and friend std::ostream& operator>>(const basic_json&, std::ostream&) are deprecated. Please use friend std::istream& operator>>(std::istream&, basic_json&) and friend operator<<(std::ostream&, const basic_json&) instead.

All deprecations are annotated with HEDLEY_DEPRECATED_FOR to report which function to use instead.
