Rapidjson output to string not working

c++, rapidjson

Solution

I must have been tired at 9 last night when I wrote this piece of code.

Changing

Writer<FileStream> writer(buffer);

to

Writer<StringBuffer> writer(buffer);

solves the problem.

Problem

I am trying to use rapidjson to output itself to a string to save to a database, using the following code : ``` StringBuffer buffer; Writer<FileStream> writer(buffer); rest.Accept(writer); string reststring = buffer.GetString(); ``` where rest is a rapidjson::Document. However I get the following error : ``` no matching function for call to ‘rapidjson::Writer<rapidjson::FileStream>::Writer (rapidjson::StringBuffer&)’. ``` which is strange because the author of rapidjson recommended this method in an answer to a previous SO question.
