## Detailed Description

A powerful tree structure that can be used to hold free-form data, and which can handle its own undo and redo behaviour.

A ValueTree contains a list of named properties as var objects, and also holds any number of sub-trees.

Create ValueTree objects on the stack, and don't be afraid to copy them around, as they're simply a lightweight reference to a shared data container. Creating a copy of another ValueTree simply creates a new reference to the same underlying object - to make a separate, deep copy of a tree you should explicitly call createCopy().

Each ValueTree has a type name, in much the same way as an XmlElement has a tag name, and much of the structure of a ValueTree is similar to an XmlElement tree. You can convert a ValueTree to and from an XmlElement, and as long as the XML doesn't contain text elements, the conversion works well and makes a good serialisation format. They can also be serialised to a binary format, which is very fast and compact.

All the methods that change data take an optional UndoManager, which will be used to track any changes to the object. For this to work, you have to be careful to consistently always use the same UndoManager for all operations to any sub-tree inside the tree.

A ValueTree can only be a child of one parent at a time, so if you're moving one from one tree to another, be careful to always remove it first, before adding it. This could also mess up your undo/redo chain, so be wary! In a debug build you should hit assertions if you try to do anything dangerous, but there are still plenty of ways it could go wrong.

Note that although the children in a tree have a fixed order, the properties are not guaranteed to be stored in any particular order, so don't expect that a property's index will correspond to the order in which the property was added, or that it will remain constant when other properties are added or removed.

Listeners can be added to a ValueTree to be told when properties change and when sub-trees are added or removed.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ ValueTree() [1/5]

juce::ValueTree::ValueTree | ( |  | ) |
| noexcept

Creates an empty, invalid ValueTree.

A ValueTree that is created with this constructor can't actually be used for anything, it's just a default 'null' ValueTree that can be returned to indicate some sort of failure. To create a real one, use the constructor that takes a string.

Definition at line 579 of file juce_ValueTree.cpp.

Referenced by createCopy(), getChild(), getChildWithName(), getChildWithProperty(), getOrCreateChildWithName(), getParent(), and getRoot().

## ◆ ValueTree() [2/5]

juce::ValueTree::ValueTree | ( | const Identifier & | type | ) |
| explicit

Creates an empty ValueTree with the given type name.

Like an XmlElement, each ValueTree has a type, which you can access with getType() and hasType().

Definition at line 585 of file juce_ValueTree.cpp.

## ◆ ValueTree() [3/5]

juce::ValueTree::ValueTree | ( | const Identifier & | type,
|  | std::initializer_list< NamedValueSet::NamedValue > | properties,
|  | std::initializer_list< ValueTree > | subTrees = `{}`
| ) |  |

Creates a value tree from nested lists of properties and ValueTrees.

This code,

ValueTree groups
{ "ParameterGroups", {},
{
{ "Group", {{ "name", "Tone Controls" }},
{
{ "Parameter", {{ "id", "distortion" }, { "value", 0.5 }}},
{ "Parameter", {{ "id", "reverb" }, { "value", 0.5 }}}
}
},
{ "Group", {{ "name", "Other Controls" }},
{
{ "Parameter", {{ "id", "drywet" }, { "value", 0.5 }}},
{ "Parameter", {{ "id", "gain" }, { "value", 0.5 }}}
}
}
}
};
juce::ValueTree
Definition: juce_ValueTree.h:73

produces this tree:

    <ParameterGroups>
      <Group name="Tone Controls">
        <Parameter id="distortion" value="0.5"/>
        <Parameter id="reverb" value="0.5"/>
      </Group>
      <Group name="Other Controls">
        <Parameter id="drywet" value="0.5"/>
        <Parameter id="gain" value="0.5"/>
      </Group>
    </ParameterGroups>

## ◆ ValueTree() [4/5]

juce::ValueTree::ValueTree | ( | const ValueTree & | other | ) |
| noexcept

Creates a reference to another ValueTree.

Definition at line 604 of file juce_ValueTree.cpp.

## ◆ ValueTree() [5/5]

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ addChild()

void juce::ValueTree::addChild | ( | const ValueTree & | child,
|  | int | index,
|  | UndoManager * | undoManager
| ) |  |

Adds a child to this tree. Make sure that the child being added has first been removed from any former parent before calling this, or else you'll hit an assertion. If the index is < 0 or greater than the current number of sub-trees, the new one will be added at the end of the list. If the undoManager parameter is not nullptr, its UndoManager::perform() method will be used, so that this change can be undone. Be very careful not to mix undoable and non-undoable changes!

Referenced by appendChild(), juce::ValueTreeSynchroniser::applyChange(), and ValueTree().

## ◆ addListener()

void juce::ValueTree::addListener | ( | Listener * | listener | ) |

Adds a listener to receive callbacks when this tree is changed in some way.

The listener is added to this specific ValueTree object, and not to the shared object that it refers to. When this object is deleted, all the listeners will be lost, even if other references to the same ValueTree still exist. And if you use the operator= to make this refer to a different ValueTree, any listeners will begin listening to changes to the new tree instead of the old one.

When you're adding a listener, make sure that you add it to a ValueTree instance that will last for as long as you need the listener. In general, you'd never want to add a listener to a local stack-based ValueTree, and would usually add one to a member variable.

## ◆ appendChild()

void juce::ValueTree::appendChild | ( | const ValueTree & | child,
|  | UndoManager * | undoManager
| ) |  |

Appends a new child sub-tree to this tree. This is equivalent to calling addChild() with an index of -1. See addChild() for more details.

## ◆ copyPropertiesFrom()

void juce::ValueTree::copyPropertiesFrom | ( | const ValueTree & | source,
|  | UndoManager * | undoManager
| ) |  |

Definition at line 663 of file juce_ValueTree.cpp.

## ◆ createXml()

std::unique_ptr< XmlElement > juce::ValueTree::createXml | ( |  | ) | const

Creates an XmlElement that holds a complete image of this tree and all its children. If this tree is invalid, this may return nullptr. Otherwise, the XML that is produced can be used to recreate a similar tree by calling ValueTree::fromXml(). The caller must delete the object that is returned.

## ◆ end()

ValueTree::Iterator juce::ValueTree::end | ( |  | ) | const
| noexcept

Returns an end iterator for the children in this tree.

Definition at line 886 of file juce_ValueTree.cpp.

## ◆ fromXml() [1/2]

ValueTree juce::ValueTree::fromXml | ( | const String & | xmlText | ) |
| static

Tries to recreate a tree from its XML representation. This isn't designed to cope with random XML data - it should only be fed XML that was created by the createXml() method.

## ◆ getChild()

ValueTree juce::ValueTree::getChild | ( | int | index | ) | const

Returns one of this tree's sub-trees. If the index is out of range, it'll return an invalid tree. (You can use isValid() to check whether a tree is valid)

Definition at line 857 of file juce_ValueTree.cpp.

## ◆ getChildWithName()

ValueTree juce::ValueTree::getChildWithName | ( | const Identifier & | type | ) | const

Returns the first sub-tree with the specified type name. If no such child tree exists, it'll return an invalid tree. (You can use isValid() to check whether a tree is valid)

## ◆ getChildWithProperty()

ValueTree juce::ValueTree::getChildWithProperty | ( | const Identifier & | propertyName,
|  | const var & | propertyValue
| ) |  | const

Looks for the first sub-tree that has the specified property value. This will scan the child trees in order, until it finds one that has property that matches the specified value. If no such tree is found, it'll return an invalid object. (You can use isValid() to check whether a tree is valid)

## ◆ getOrCreateChildWithName()

ValueTree juce::ValueTree::getOrCreateChildWithName | ( | const Identifier & | type,
|  | UndoManager * | undoManager
| ) |  |

Returns the first sub-tree with the specified type name, creating and adding a child with this name if there wasn't already one there. The only time this will return an invalid object is when the object that you're calling the method on is itself invalid.

## ◆ getParent()

ValueTree juce::ValueTree::getParent | ( |  | ) | const
| noexcept

Returns the parent tree that contains this one. If the tree has no parent, this will return an invalid object. (You can use isValid() to check whether a tree is valid)

Definition at line 703 of file juce_ValueTree.cpp.

## ◆ getProperty() [1/2]

const var & juce::ValueTree::getProperty | ( | const Identifier & | name | ) | const
| noexcept

Returns the value of a named property. If no such property has been set, this will return a void variant. You can also use operator[] to get a property.

See also
  var, setProperty, getPropertyPointer, hasProperty

Definition at line 741 of file juce_ValueTree.cpp.

## ◆ getProperty() [2/2]

var juce::ValueTree::getProperty | ( | const Identifier & | name,
|  | const var & | defaultReturnValue
| ) |  | const

Returns the value of a named property, or the value of defaultReturnValue if the property doesn't exist. You can also use operator[] and getProperty to get a property.

  var, getProperty, getPropertyPointer, setProperty, hasProperty

Definition at line 746 of file juce_ValueTree.cpp.

## ◆ getPropertyAsValue()

Value juce::ValueTree::getPropertyAsValue | ( | const Identifier & | name,
|  | UndoManager * | undoManager,
|  | bool | shouldUpdateSynchronously = `false`
| ) |  |

Returns a Value object that can be used to control and respond to one of the tree's properties.

The Value object will maintain a reference to this tree, and will use the undo manager when it needs to change the value. Attaching a Value::Listener to the value object will provide callbacks whenever the property changes. If shouldUpdateSynchronously is true the Value::Listener will be updated synchronously.

## ◆ getPropertyName()

Identifier juce::ValueTree::getPropertyName | ( | int | index | ) | const
| noexcept

Returns the identifier of the property with a given index. Note that properties are not guaranteed to be stored in any particular order, so don't expect that the index will correspond to the order in which the property was added, or that it will remain constant when other properties are added or removed.

See also
  getNumProperties

Definition at line 797 of file juce_ValueTree.cpp.

## ◆ getPropertyPointer()

const var * juce::ValueTree::getPropertyPointer | ( | const Identifier & | name | ) | const
| noexcept

Returns a pointer to the value of a named property, or nullptr if the property doesn't exist.

  var, getProperty, setProperty, hasProperty

Definition at line 752 of file juce_ValueTree.cpp.

## ◆ getReferenceCount()

int juce::ValueTree::getReferenceCount | ( |  | ) | const
| noexcept

Returns the total number of references to the shared underlying data structure that this ValueTree is using.

Definition at line 803 of file juce_ValueTree.cpp.

## ◆ getRoot()

ValueTree juce::ValueTree::getRoot | ( |  | ) | const
| noexcept

Recursively finds the highest-level parent tree that contains this one. If the tree has no parent, this will return itself.

Definition at line 712 of file juce_ValueTree.cpp.

## ◆ getSibling()

ValueTree juce::ValueTree::getSibling | ( | int | delta | ) | const
| noexcept

Returns one of this tree's siblings in its parent's child list. The delta specifies how far to move through the list, so a value of 1 would return the tree that follows this one, -1 would return the tree before it, 0 will return this one, etc. If the requested position is beyond the start or end of the child list, this will return an invalid object.

Definition at line 720 of file juce_ValueTree.cpp.

## ◆ getType()

Identifier juce::ValueTree::getType | ( |  | ) | const
| noexcept

Returns the type of this tree. The type is specified when the ValueTree is created.

See also
  hasType

Definition at line 698 of file juce_ValueTree.cpp.

## ◆ hasProperty()

bool juce::ValueTree::hasProperty | ( | const Identifier & | name | ) | const
| noexcept

Returns true if the tree contains a named property.

Definition at line 775 of file juce_ValueTree.cpp.

Referenced by juce::ValueWithDefault::isUsingDefault().

## ◆ hasType()

bool juce::ValueTree::hasType | ( | const Identifier & | typeName | ) | const
| noexcept

Returns true if the tree has this type. The comparison is case-sensitive.

See also
  getType

Definition at line 693 of file juce_ValueTree.cpp.

## ◆ indexOf()

int juce::ValueTree::indexOf | ( | const ValueTree & | child | ) | const
| noexcept

Returns the index of a child item in this parent. If the child isn't found, this returns -1.

Definition at line 908 of file juce_ValueTree.cpp.

## ◆ isAChildOf()

bool juce::ValueTree::isAChildOf | ( | const ValueTree & | possibleParent | ) | const
| noexcept

Returns true if this tree is a sub-tree (at any depth) of the given parent. This searches recursively, so returns true if it's a sub-tree at any level below the parent.

Definition at line 903 of file juce_ValueTree.cpp.

## ◆ isEquivalentTo()

bool juce::ValueTree::isEquivalentTo | ( | const ValueTree & | other | ) | const

Performs a deep comparison between the properties and children of two trees. If all the properties and children of the two trees are the same (recursively), this returns true. The normal operator==() only checks whether two trees refer to the same shared data structure, so use this method if you need to do a proper value comparison.

Definition at line 656 of file juce_ValueTree.cpp.

## ◆ isValid()

bool juce::ValueTree::isValid | ( |  | ) | const
| inline noexcept

Returns true if this tree refers to some valid data. An invalid tree is one that was created with the default constructor.

Definition at line 175 of file juce_ValueTree.h.

Referenced by juce::ValueTreeSynchroniser::applyChange().

## ◆ moveChild()

void juce::ValueTree::moveChild | ( | int | currentIndex,
|  | int | newIndex,
|  | UndoManager * | undoManager
| ) |  |

Moves one of the sub-trees to a different index. This will move the child to a specified index, shuffling along any intervening items as required. So for example, if you have a list of { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 }, then calling move (2, 4) would result in { 0, 1, 3, 4, 2, 5 }.

Parameters

  currentIndex | the index of the item to be moved. If this isn't a valid index, then nothing will be done
  newIndex | the index at which you'd like this item to end up. If this is less than zero, the value will be moved to the end of the list
  undoManager | the optional UndoManager to use to store this transaction

Referenced by juce::ValueTreeSynchroniser::applyChange().

## ◆ operator!=()

bool juce::ValueTree::operator!= | ( | const ValueTree & | other | ) | const
| noexcept

Returns true if this and the other tree refer to different underlying structures. Note that this isn't a value comparison - two independently-created trees which contain identical data are not considered equal.

Definition at line 651 of file juce_ValueTree.cpp.

## ◆ operator=()

ValueTree & juce::ValueTree::operator= | ( | const ValueTree & | other | ) |

Changes this object to be a reference to the given tree. Note that calling this just points this at the new object and invokes the Listener::valueTreeRedirected callback, but it's not an undoable operation. If you're trying to replace an entire tree in an undoable way, you probably want to use copyPropertiesAndChildrenFrom() instead.

Definition at line 608 of file juce_ValueTree.cpp.

## ◆ operator==()

bool juce::ValueTree::operator== | ( | const ValueTree & | other | ) | const
| noexcept

Returns true if both this and the other tree refer to the same underlying structure. Note that this isn't a value comparison - two independently-created trees which contain identical data are NOT considered equal.

Definition at line 646 of file juce_ValueTree.cpp.

## ◆ operator[]()

const var & juce::ValueTree::operator[] | ( | const Identifier & | name | ) | const
| noexcept

Returns the value of a named property. If no such property has been set, this will return a void variant. This is the same as calling getProperty().

void juce::ValueTree::sort | ( | ElementComparator & | comparator,
|  | UndoManager * | undoManager,
|  | bool | retainOrderOfEquivalentItems
| ) |  |
| inline

This method uses a comparator object to sort the tree's children into order.

The object provided must have a method of the form:

int compareElements (const ValueTree& first, const ValueTree& second);

..and this method must return:

- a value of < 0 if the first comes before the second
- a value of 0 if the two objects are equivalent
- a value of > 0 if the second comes before the first

To improve performance, the compareElements() method can be declared as static or const.

Parameters

  comparator | the comparator to use for comparing elements.
  undoManager | optional UndoManager for storing the changes
  retainOrderOfEquivalentItems | if this is true, then items which the comparator says are equivalent will be kept in the order in which they currently appear in the array. This is slower to perform, but may be important in some cases. If it's false, a faster algorithm is used, but equivalent elements may be rearranged.

## ◆ toXmlString()

String juce::ValueTree::toXmlString | ( | const XmlElement::TextFormat & | format = `{}` | ) | const

This returns a string containing an XML representation of the tree. This is quite handy for debugging purposes, as it provides a quick way to view a tree.

## ◆ writeToStream()

void juce::ValueTree::writeToStream | ( | OutputStream & | output | ) | const

Stores this tree (and all its children) in a binary format.

Once written, the data can be read back with readFromStream().

It's much faster to load/save your tree in binary form than as XML, but obviously isn't human-readable.
