nlohmann json has a string member called name, how can I check it is null or valid string





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I know that I have this:



json var["thirdName"].get<std::string>().c_str();


It is used in C++. The protocol says this member is mandatory, but lots of people don't have third name.



I got exception if it is



nullptr;


, because I can say



var["thirdName"] = nullptr;


How can I easily check if it is valid or not?



I've found only one very complex form.

          You can use the count method:



          if (var.count("thirdName") > 0) {
          ...
          }


          Personally, I would omit the > 0:



          if (var.count("thirdName")) {
          ...
          }

            You can use the count method:
