How to handle std::vector<std::uint8_t>

[ntoskrnl-exe]

I have built my own sockets layer, which works for an application I am working on.

The response from the Send returns a "complex" type containing the following data

std::vector<std::string> headers;
std::vector<std::uint8_t> body;

The reason the complex type represents the body as vector of bytes is the api will also transfer binary data as well as JSON string data.

My problem is when I do HTTP post, my data is sent correctly to the server. It updates the database, and then returns to my client. In the response, there is JSON data. I am trying to work out how to construct a JSON "object" that I can call contains to query the structured information for the certain returned data.

I have tried

nlohman::json _json(_response.body);

but it appears unable to find the nodes when I query the using contains. I have manually tried converting the vector of bytes to a string and parsing that, to no available.

I guess what I am asking for, is what section of the help should I look at more closely, to find the solution.

Hello Elliot Alderson,

How about something like

nlohmann::json j;
j = nlohmann::json::parse(response.body.begin(), response.body.end());
