Indented serialisation

[infn-ke]

Can the output from value_from be indented to make reading output easier?

std::cout << boost::json::value_from( b ) << std::endl;

value_from doesn't output anything, it creates a value container. You essentially ask for indented serialisation. It won't be possible with operator<<, but we will think about implementing it for serialize.

Meanwhile, here's an example of how to do it manually https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_80_0/libs/json/doc/html/json/examples.html

I took value_from from the docs, that is not working?

Is there a better way converting from structs to json?

No, why are you asking?
