Return value

The value of the specified type or a default value if the JsonVariant is not compatible with the specified type.

The default value is:

  • 0 for numerical types
  • NULL for const char*
  • JsonArray::invalid() for JsonArray&
  • JsonObject::invalid() for JsonObject&

Example

JsonVariant variant = 42;
int i = variant.as<int>(); // <- i == 42
double d = variant.as<double>(); // <- d == 42.0
const char* s = variant.as<char*>(); // <- s == NULL
