Error: ‘equals’ is not a member of ‘ArduinoJson::Internals::StringTraits<const int&, void>’

This error occurs when you index a JsonObject with an integer instead of a string.

For example, it happens with the following code:

int i = 0;
auto value = obj[i];

The compiler generates an error similar to this one:

error: 'equals' is not a member of 'ArduinoJson::Internals::StringTraits<const int&, void>'

Indeed, a JsonObject can only be indexed by a string, like this:

const char* key = "key";
auto value = obj[key];

If you do need to access the members of the JsonObject one by one, consider iterating over the key-value pairs:

for (JsonPair& kv : obj) {
    Serial.println(kv.key);
    Serial.println(kv.value.as<char*>());
}
