inline

access specified array element with bounds checking

Returns a reference to the element at specified location idx, with bounds checking.

Parameters

[in]

idx

index of the element to access

Returns

reference to the element at index idx

Exceptions

type_error.304	if the JSON value is not an array; in this case, calling at with an index makes no sense. See example below.
out_of_range.401	if the index idx is out of range of the array; that is, idx >= size(). See example below.

@exceptionsafety Strong guarantee: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes in the JSON value.

@complexity Constant.

Since

version 1.0.0

@liveexample{The example below shows how array elements can be read and written using at(). It also demonstrates the different exceptions that can be thrown.,at__size_type}
