Aug 15 at 15:52	comment	added	Loki Astari		I now know how to use `std::variant`. That is a better technique than `union`.
Jun 12, 2020 at 8:12	comment	added	Loki Astari		@MoritzSchäfer I used a `union` because I don't know how to use `std::variant` it's not something I have found the need for yet. Note: I don't use `union` often either (about twice in thirty years).
Jun 12, 2020 at 7:08	comment	added	Moritz Schäfer		You are using a union for JSONUnion instead of an std::variant because you can't do null = nullptr; with std::variant ?
Jun 11, 2020 at 18:09	comment	added	Loki Astari		@MoritzSchäfer: `getIf<int>("nested_object", "numbers", 3)` should be able to return the 3 element in "numbers" that is in the member "nested_object" inside your object.

Jun 11, 2020 at 8:58	comment	added	Moritz Schäfer		For clarification, by "The get function assumes you only have objects. You should be able to handle de-referencing arrays. But that requires two types of get parameter (integer and string)." you mean that if I have the attribute `"numbers": [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]`, I should be able to return an individual value of that array ? Maybe I misunderstand you.
