JsonTree addChild for vec*

Using Cinder
#1

Hi,
There are JsonTree::addChild for different types like int, float but not for vec2 vec3 vec4.
This makes a compile error:

vec4 value = jsonElement->getChild("value").getValue< vec4 >();

Should I use a string for now or is there something I’m missing?

#2

I’ve always just made wrapper functions to pull out vec2, vec3, vec4, Color, ColorA, etc. Like these for example.

cheers,
Rich

What Rich said, plus I’d recommend to stop using JsonTree and start using Json::Value directly. The JsonTree wrapper is flawed and unnecessary. At least in my opinion.

Right, we’ve been meaning to deprecate JsonTree,and really should do that soon…
