JsonVariant::isNull()
Description
JsonVariant::isNull()
tests if the JsonVariant
is unbound or points to a null
value.
Remember that a JsonVariant
is a reference to a value in a JsonDocument
. A JsonVariant
that is not attached to a JsonDocument
will always be null:
JsonVariant variant;
variant.set(42); // does nothing because the variant is not attached to a document
variant.isNull(); // returns true
As an alternative, you can use the conversion to bool
; for example, if(variant)
instead of if(!variant.isNull())
Signature
bool isNull() const;
Return value
true
if theJsonVariant
is unbound or points to anull
.false
if theJsonVariant
points to a non-null value.
Example
JsonDocument doc;
deserializeJson("{\"a\":1,\"b\":null}");
doc["a"].isNull(); // false, because doc["a"] contains 1
doc["b"].isNull(); // true, because doc["b"] contains null
doc["c"].isNull(); // true, because doc["c"] doesn't exist
