DoesShorthandExist

bool DoesShorthandExist(const std::string shorthand, const char delimiter = '.') const
bool DoesShorthandExist(const std::string shorthand, const std::string delimiter) const

---

Shorthand function.
A shorthand function is designed to make working with deep, nested json structures easier and faster.

Does the same as DoesExist(), but with a shorthand label.

If you, for whatever reason, don't want to use the '.' delimiter, you can specify a custom one. It can even be a string!

Examples:

Json:

{
    "id": {
        "names": {
            "firstname": "Joseph"
        }
    }
}

C++:

// returns true
myJsonBlock.DoesShorthandExist("id.names.firstname");

// returns also true
myJsonBlock.DoesShorthandExist("id.names");

// returns false
myJsonBlock.DoesShorthandExist("id.names.power_drill");

Custom delimiter (C++):

// returns true
myJsonBlock.DoesShorthandExist("id->names->firstname", "->");

// returns true
myJsonBlock.DoesShorthandExist("id/names/firstname", '/');

// returns false, because the delimiter parameter is missing!
myJsonBlock.DoesShorthandExist("id->names->firstname");
