### `jsoncons::basic_json::dump`
```cpp
template <CharContainer>
void dump(CharContainer& cont,
const basic_json_encode_options<char_type>& options
= basic_json_encode_options<char_type>(),
indenting = indenting::no_indent) const; (1)
template <CharContainer>
void dump(CharContainer& cont, indenting indent) const;
void dump(std::basic_ostream<char_type>& os,
const basic_json_encode_options<char_type>& options
= basic_json_encode_options<char_type>(),
indenting = indenting::no_indent) const; (2)
void dump(std::basic_ostream<char_type>& os, indenting indent) const;
template <CharContainer>
void dump_pretty(CharContainer& cont,
const basic_json_encode_options<char_type>& options
= basic_json_encode_options<char_type>()) const; (3)
void dump_pretty(std::basic_ostream<char_type>& os,
const basic_json_encode_options<char_type>& options
= basic_json_encode_options<char_type>()) const; (4)
void dump(basic_json_visitor<char_type>& visitor) const; (5)
```
(1) Dumps a json value to a character container with "minified" output.
(2) Dumps a json value to an output stream with "minified" output.
Functions (3)-(4) are identical to (1)-(2) except indenting is on.
(5) Dumps a json value to the specified [visitor](../basic_json_visitor.md).
#### Exceptions
Throws [ser_error](ser_error.md) if there is a serialization error.
### Examples
#### Dump json value to csv file
```cpp
#include <jsoncons/json.hpp>
#include <jsoncons_ext/csv/csv.hpp>
using namespace jsoncons;
int main()
{
const json books = json::parse(R"(
[
{
"title" : "Kafka on the Shore",
"author" : "Haruki Murakami",
"price" : 25.17
},
{
"title" : "Women: A Novel",
"author" : "Charles Bukowski",
"price" : 12.00
},
{
"title" : "Cutter's Way",
"author" : "Ivan Passer"
}
]
)");
auto options = csv_options{}
.column_names("author,title,price");
csv_stream_encoder encoder(std::cout, options);
books.dump(encoder);
}
```
Output:
```csv
author,title,price
Haruki Murakami,Kafka on the Shore,25.17
Charles Bukowski,Women: A Novel,12.0
Ivan Passer,Cutter's Way,
```
#### Dump json content into a larger document
```cpp
#include <jsoncons/json.hpp>
using namespace jsoncons;
int main()
{
const json some_books = json::parse(R"(
[
{
"title" : "Kafka on the Shore",
"author" : "Haruki Murakami",
"price" : 25.17
},
{
"title" : "Women: A Novel",
"author" : "Charles Bukowski",
"price" : 12.00
}
]
)");
const json more_books = json::parse(R"(
[
{
"title" : "A Wild Sheep Chase: A Novel",
"author" : "Haruki Murakami",
"price" : 9.01
},
{
"title" : "Cutter's Way",
"author" : "Ivan Passer",
"price" : 8.00
}
]
)");
json_stream_encoder encoder(std::cout); // pretty print
encoder.begin_array();
for (const auto& book : some_books.array_range())
{
book.dump(encoder);
}
for (const auto& book : more_books.array_range())
{
book.dump(encoder);
}
encoder.end_array();
encoder.flush();
}
```
Output:
```json
[
{
"author": "Haruki Murakami",
"price": 25.17,
"title": "Kafka on the Shore"
},
{
"author": "Charles Bukowski",
"price": 12.0,
"title": "Women: A Novel"
},
{
"author": "Haruki Murakami",
"price": 9.01,
"title": "A Wild Sheep Chase: A Novel"
},
{
"author": "Ivan Passer",
"price": 8.0,
"title": "Cutter's Way"
}
]
```
