Difference between dump() and get() functions

[AndresDuque]

Hi there,

As the title says; what's the difference between the dump() function and getstd::string() function? They both return a string.

Example:

object["url"].dump();
object["url"].getstd::string()

Cheers.

dump() serializes the entire (sub-)tree. get<T>() returns the node value as the given type T if the node value is convertible to T.

Thank you! I just solved one stuff changing from dump to get and I didn't know why as they both return one string.
