Re: [Boost-users] Property Tree - adding child nodes to a parent

Jon Shuler wrote:

I am trying to build a property tree from hierarchy data in a database. I want to be able to add a child at a given node using something similar to:

parentNode.add_child(“child name”, data_type). There is a add_child method but it expects the path to add the child at. I looked at the examples and did not see anything. Is this possible?

I don't understand the problem. If the path contains only a single element, it's equivalent to adding a direct child. Alternatively, you can use push_front, push_back or insert to insert a std::pair. Sebastian
