how to validate json object before calling dump()

[nithax]

I'm having an issue with figuring out a method of detecting if a nlohmann:json object is valid for dump(). Currently, I've been experiencing a bug with dump() that is causing a crash with a malformed json object after parsing.

My answer to this would be to check if json::accept(json_object) would be valid before dumping to prevent a crash, but you can't do that unless you pass an input_adapter to json::accept, which is a string and not a json object.

What error are you getting? That it's not holding anything? Or that some subobject has a bad type (eg, a string that's not UTF-8)?
