measureJson()
Description
Computes the length of the minified JSON document that serializeJson()
produces, excluding the null-terminator.
This function is handy to fill the Content-Length
header in an HTTP message.
Signatures
size_t measureJson(const JsonDocument& doc);
Arguments
doc
: the JsonDocument
to serialize (in fact, you can also use a JsonArray
, a JsonObject
, or a JsonVariant
).
Return value
The number of characters that serializeJson()
produces, excluding the null-terminator.
Example
// Send headers
client.println("Content-Type: application/json");
client.print("Content-Length: ");
client.println(measureJson(doc));
// Terminate headers
client.println();
// Send body
serializeJson(doc, client);
