json: Object properties should not be re-sorted alphabetically
Usually JSON documents have a meaningful ordering of properties, and rarely it is alphabetical.
With this library all JSON data gets sorted alphabetically, which is undesirable.
I guess it must be due to use of std::map
.
Please describe the steps to reproduce the issue.
#include <iostream>
#include "json.hpp"
using Json = nlohmann::json;
int main() {
std::cout << ">>> " << Json{{"C",1},{"B",2},{"A",3}}.dump() << std::endl;
}
What is the expected behavior?
>>> {"C":1, "B":2, "A":3}
And what is the actual behavior instead?
{“A”:3,“B”:2,“C”:1}
Which compiler and operating system are you using?
- Compiler: clang-7 and gcc-7
- Operating system: Ubuntu 18
Which version of the library did you use?
- [ x ] latest release version 3.7.3

@gatopeich that is a really good feature
Hey @nlohmann my pull request #2206 is ready and waiting…
Thanks for taking this in!
Will do that. I am away from computer today just trying to help from my phone 🙂
This behavior is described in the readme including ways to circumvent it.
