C ++ std :: vector到带有RapidJSON的JSON数组

Question

I am trying to parse a basic std::vector of strings to json using the rapidjson library.

Even though there are multiple answers to this question online, none of it worked for me. The best I could find was this , but I do get an error (cleaned up a bit):

Error C2664 'noexcept': cannot convert argument 1 from 'std::basic_string,std::allocator>' to 'rapidjson::GenericObject,rapidjson::MemoryPoolAllocator>>'

My code is mostly based on the link above:

rapidjson::Document d;
std::vector<std::string> files;

// The Vector gets filled with filenames,
// I debugged this and it works without errors.
for (const auto & entry : fs::directory_iterator(UPLOAD_DIR))
    files.push_back(entry.path().string());

// This part is based on the link provided
d.SetArray();

rapidjson::Document::AllocatorType& allocator = d.GetAllocator();
for (int i = 0; i < files.size(); i++) {
    d.PushBack(files.at(i), allocator);
}
rapidjson::StringBuffer strbuf;
rapidjson::Writer<rapidjson::StringBuffer> writer(strbuf);
d.Accept(writer);

jsonString = strbuf.GetString();

It would be nice if someone could explain what I am missing here, as I do not fully understand the error showing up. I guess it has to do something with the provided string types, but the error is generated in a Rapidjson file..

I also would appreciate if there were other working examples you could provide.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT With JSON Array I mean just a basic json string containing the values of the vector.

Seems that the string type std::string and rapidjson::UTF8 are not compatible. I set up a small test program, and it seems to work if you create a rapidjson::Value object and call it SetString method first.

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

int main() {
    rapidjson::Document document;
    document.SetArray();

    std::vector<std::string> files = {"abc", "def"};
    rapidjson::Document::AllocatorType& allocator = document.GetAllocator();
    for (const auto file : files) {
        rapidjson::Value value;
        value.SetString(file.c_str(), file.length(), allocator);
        document.PushBack(value, allocator);
        // Or as one liner:
        // document.PushBack(rapidjson::Value().SetString(file.c_str(), file.length(), allocator), allocator);
    }

    rapidjson::StringBuffer strbuf;
    rapidjson::Writer<rapidjson::StringBuffer> writer(strbuf);
    document.Accept(writer);

    std::cout << strbuf.GetString();

    return 0;
}
