# docset
The folder contains the required files to create a [docset](https://kapeli.com/docsets) which can be used in
documentation browsers like [Dash](https://kapeli.com/dash), [Velocity](https://velocity.silverlakesoftware.com), or
[Zeal](https://zealdocs.org).
The docset can be created with
```sh
make nlohmann_json.docset
```
The generated folder `nlohmann_json.docset` can then be opened in the documentation browser.

# adl_serializer
```cpp
template<typename, typename>
struct adl_serializer;
```
Serializer that uses ADL ([Argument-Dependent Lookup](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/adl)) to choose
`to_json`/`from_json` functions from the types' namespaces.
It is implemented similar to
```cpp
template<typename ValueType>
struct adl_serializer {
template<typename BasicJsonType>
static void to_json(BasicJsonType& j, const T& value) {
// calls the "to_json" method in T's namespace
}
template<typename BasicJsonType>
static void from_json(const BasicJsonType& j, T& value) {
// same thing, but with the "from_json" method
}
};
```
## Member functions
- **from_json** - convert a JSON value to any value type
- **to_json** - convert any value type to a JSON value

# basic_json::accept

// (1)
template<typename InputType>

Checks whether the input is valid JSON.
1. Reads from a compatible input.
2. Reads from a pair of character iterators
The value_type of the iterator must be a integral type with size of 1, 2 or 4 bytes, which will be interpreted
respectively as UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32.
Unlike the [`parse`](parse.md) function, this function neither throws an exception in case of invalid JSON input
(i.e., a parse error) nor creates diagnostic information.
## Template parameters
`InputType`
: A compatible input, for instance:
- an `std::istream` object
- a `FILE` pointer
- a C-style array of characters
- a pointer to a null-terminated string of single byte characters
- an object `obj` for which `begin(obj)` and `end(obj)` produces a valid pair of iterators.
`IteratorType`
: a compatible iterator type
## Parameters
`i` (in)
: Input to parse from.
`ignore_comments` (in)
: whether comments should be ignored and treated like whitespace (`#!cpp true`) or yield a parse error
(`#!cpp false`); (optional, `#!cpp false` by default)

# basic_json::array
```cpp
static basic_json array(initializer_list_t init = {});
```
Creates a JSON array value from a given initializer list. That is, given a list of values `a, b, c`, creates the JSON
value `#!json [a, b, c]`. If the initializer list is empty, the empty array `#!json []` is created.
## Parameters
`init` (in)
: initializer list with JSON values to create an array from (optional)
## Return value
JSON array value
## Exception safety
Strong guarantee: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes in the JSON value.
## Complexity
Linear in the size of `init`.
## Notes
This function is only needed to express two edge cases that cannot be realized with the initializer list constructor
([`basic_json(initializer_list_t, bool, value_t)`](basic_json.md)). These cases are:
1. creating an array whose elements are all pairs whose first element is a string -- in this case, the initializer list
constructor would create an object, taking the first elements as keys
2. creating an empty array -- passing the empty initializer list to the initializer list constructor yields an empty
object
## Examples
??? example
The following code shows an example for the `array` function.
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/array.cpp"
```
Output:
```json
--8<-- "examples/array.output"
```

# basic_json::array_t
```cpp
using array_t = ArrayType<basic_json, AllocatorType<basic_json>>;
```
The type used to store JSON arrays.
[RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) describes JSON arrays as follows:
> An array is an ordered sequence of zero or more values.
To store objects in C++, a type is defined by the template parameters explained below.
## Template parameters
`ArrayType`
: container type to store arrays (e.g., `std::vector` or `std::list`)
`AllocatorType`
: the allocator to use for objects (e.g., `std::allocator`)
## Notes
#### Default type
With the default values for `ArrayType` (`std::vector`) and `AllocatorType` (`std::allocator`), the default value for
`array_t` is:
```cpp
std::vector<
basic_json, // value_type
std::allocator<basic_json> // allocator_type
>
```
#### Limits
[RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) specifies:
> An implementation may set limits on the maximum depth of nesting.
In this class, the array's limit of nesting is not explicitly constrained. However, a maximum depth of nesting may be
introduced by the compiler or runtime environment. A theoretical limit can be queried by calling the
[`max_size`](max_size.md) function of a JSON array.
#### Storage
Arrays are stored as pointers in a `basic_json` type. That is, for any access to array values, a pointer of type
`#!cpp array_t*` must be dereferenced.
## Version history
- Added in version 1.0.0.

# basic_json::at
```cpp
// (1)
reference at(size_type idx);
const_reference at(size_type idx) const;
// (2)
reference at(const typename object_t::key_type& key);
const_reference at(const typename object_t::key_type& key) const;
// (3)
reference at(const json_pointer& ptr);
const_reference at(const json_pointer& ptr) const;
```
1. Returns a reference to the element at specified location `idx`, with bounds checking.
2. Returns a reference to the element at with specified key `key`, with bounds checking.
3. Returns a reference to the element at with specified JSON pointer `ptr`, with bounds checking.
## Parameters
`idx` (in)
: index of the element to access
`key` (in)
: object key of the elements to remove
`ptr` (in)
: JSON pointer to the desired element
## Return value
1. reference to the element at index `idx`
2. reference to the element at key `key`
3. reference to the element pointed to by `ptr`
## Exceptions
1. The function can throw the following exceptions:
- Throws [`type_error.304`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error304) if the JSON value is not an array;
in this case, calling `at` with an index makes no sense. See example below.
- Throws [`out_of_range.401`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range401) if the index `idx` is out of
range of the array; that is, `idx >= size()`. See example below.
2. The function can throw the following exceptions:
- Throws [`type_error.304`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error304) if the JSON value is not an object;
in this case, calling `at` with a key makes no sense. See example below.
- Throws [`out_of_range.403`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range403) if the key `key` is is not
stored in the object; that is, `find(key) == end()`. See example below.
3. The function can throw the following exceptions:
- Throws [`parse_error.106`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error106) if an array index in the passed
JSON pointer `ptr` begins with '0'. See example below.
- Throws [`parse_error.109`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error109) if an array index in the passed
JSON pointer `ptr` is not a number. See example below.
- Throws [`out_of_range.401`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range401) if an array index in the passed
JSON pointer `ptr` is out of range. See example below.
- Throws [`out_of_range.402`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range402) if the array index '-' is used
in the passed JSON pointer `ptr`. As `at` provides checked access (and no elements are implicitly inserted), the
index '-' is always invalid. See example below.
- Throws [`out_of_range.403`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range403) if the JSON pointer describes a
key of an object which cannot be found. See example below.
- Throws [`out_of_range.404`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range404) if the JSON pointer `ptr` can
not be resolved. See example below.
## Exception safety
Strong exception safety: if an exception occurs, the original value stays intact.
## Complexity
1. Constant
2. Logarithmic in the size of the container.
3. Constant

1. Create an empty JSON value with a given type. The value will be default initialized with an empty value which depends
on the type:
Value type | initial value
----------- | -------------
null | `#!json null`
boolean | `#!json false`
string | `#!json ""`
number | `#!json 0`
object | `#!json {}`
array | `#!json []`
binary | empty array
2. Create a `#!json null` JSON value. It either takes a null pointer as parameter (explicitly creating `#!json null`)
or no parameter (implicitly creating `#!json null`). The passed null pointer itself is not read -- it is only used to
choose the right constructor.
3. This is a "catch all" constructor for all compatible JSON types; that is, types for which a `to_json()` method
exists. The constructor forwards the parameter `val` to that method (to `json_serializer<U>::to_json` method with
`U = uncvref_t<CompatibleType>`, to be exact).
Template type `CompatibleType` includes, but is not limited to, the following types:
- **arrays**: [`array_t`](array_t.md) and all kinds of compatible containers such as `std::vector`, `std::deque`,
`std::list`, `std::forward_list`, `std::array`, `std::valarray`, `std::set`, `std::unordered_set`, `std::multiset`,
and `std::unordered_multiset` with a `value_type` from which a `basic_json` value can be constructed.
- **objects**: [`object_t`](object_t.md) and all kinds of compatible associative containers such as `std::map`,
`std::unordered_map`, `std::multimap`, and `std::unordered_multimap` with a `key_type` compatible to `string_t`
and a `value_type` from which a `basic_json` value can be constructed.
- **strings**: `string_t`, string literals, and all compatible string containers can be used.
- **numbers**: [`number_integer_t`](number_integer_t.md), [`number_unsigned_t`](number_unsigned_t.md),
[`number_float_t`](number_float_t.md), and all convertible number types such as `int`, `size_t`, `int64_t`, `float`
or `double` can be used.
- **boolean**: `boolean_t` / `bool` can be used.
- **binary**: `binary_t` / `std::vector<uint8_t>` may be used; unfortunately because string literals cannot be
distinguished from binary character arrays by the C++ type system, all types compatible with `const char*` will be
directed to the string constructor instead. This is both for backwards compatibility, and due to the fact that a
binary type is not a standard JSON type.
See the examples below.
4. This is a constructor for existing `basic_json` types. It does not hijack copy/move constructors, since the parameter
has different template arguments than the current ones.
The constructor tries to convert the internal `m_value` of the parameter.
5. Creates a JSON value of type array or object from the passed initializer list `init`. In case `type_deduction` is
`#!cpp true` (default), the type of the JSON value to be created is deducted from the initializer list `init`
according to the following rules:
1. If the list is empty, an empty JSON object value `{}` is created.
2. If the list consists of pairs whose first element is a string, a JSON object value is created where the first
elements of the pairs are treated as keys and the second elements are as values.
3. In all other cases, an array is created.
The rules aim to create the best fit between a C++ initializer list and JSON values. The rationale is as follows:
1. The empty initializer list is written as `#!cpp {}` which is exactly an empty JSON object.
2. C++ has no way of describing mapped types other than to list a list of pairs. As JSON requires that keys must be
of type string, rule 2 is the weakest constraint one can pose on initializer lists to interpret them as an
object.
3. In all other cases, the initializer list could not be interpreted as JSON object type, so interpreting it as JSON
array type is safe.
With the rules described above, the following JSON values cannot be expressed by an initializer list:
- the empty array (`#!json []`): use `array(initializer_list_t)` with an empty initializer list in this case
- arrays whose elements satisfy rule 2: use `array(initializer_list_t)` with the same initializer list in this case
6. Constructs a JSON array value by creating `cnt` copies of a passed value. In case `cnt` is `0`, an empty array is
created.
7. Constructs the JSON value with the contents of the range `[first, last)`. The semantics depends on the different
types a JSON value can have:
- In case of a `#!json null` type, [invalid_iterator.206](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptioninvalid_iterator206)
is thrown.
- In case of other primitive types (number, boolean, or string), `first` must be `begin()` and `last` must be
`end()`. In this case, the value is copied. Otherwise,
[`invalid_iterator.204`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptioninvalid_iterator204) is thrown.
- In case of structured types (array, object), the constructor behaves as similar versions for `std::vector` or
`std::map`; that is, a JSON array or object is constructed from the values in the range.
8. Creates a copy of a given JSON value.
9. Move constructor. Constructs a JSON value with the contents of the given value `other` using move semantics. It
"steals" the resources from `other` and leaves it as JSON `#!json null` value.
## Template parameters
`CompatibleType`
: a type such that:
- `CompatibleType` is not derived from `std::istream`,
- `CompatibleType` is not `basic_json` (to avoid hijacking copy/move constructors),
- `CompatibleType` is not a different `basic_json` type (i.e. with different template arguments)
- `CompatibleType` is not a `basic_json` nested type (e.g., `json_pointer`, `iterator`, etc.)
- `json_serializer<U>` (with `U = uncvref_t<CompatibleType>`) has a `to_json(basic_json_t&, CompatibleType&&)`
method
`BasicJsonType`:
: a type such that:
- `BasicJsonType` is a `basic_json` type.
- `BasicJsonType` has different template arguments than `basic_json_t`.
## Parameters
`v` (in)
: the type of the value to create
`val` (in)
: the value to be forwarded to the respective constructor
`init` (in)
: initializer list with JSON values
`type_deduction` (in)
: internal parameter; when set to `#!cpp true`, the type of the JSON value is deducted from the initializer list
`init`; when set to `#!cpp false`, the type provided via `manual_type` is forced. This mode is used by the functions
`array(initializer_list_t)` and `object(initializer_list_t)`.
`manual_type` (in)
: internal parameter; when `type_deduction` is set to `#!cpp false`, the created JSON value will use the provided type
(only `value_t::array` and `value_t::object` are valid); when `type_deduction` is set to `#!cpp true`, this
parameter has no effect
`cnt` (in)
: the number of JSON copies of `val` to create
`first` (in)
: begin of the range to copy from (included)
`last` (in)
: end of the range to copy from (excluded)
`other` (in)
: the JSON value to copy/move

4. /
5. The function can throw the following exceptions:
- Throws [`type_error.301`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error301) if `type_deduction` is
`#!cpp false`, `manual_type` is `value_t::object`, but `init` contains an element which is not a pair whose first
element is a string. In this case, the constructor could not create an object. If `type_deduction` would have been
`#!cpp true`, an array would have been created. See `object(initializer_list_t)` for an example.
6. /
7. The function can throw the following exceptions:
- Throws [`invalid_iterator.201`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptioninvalid_iterator201) if iterators `first`
and `last` are not compatible (i.e., do not belong to the same JSON value). In this case, the range
`[first, last)` is undefined.
- Throws [`invalid_iterator.204`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptioninvalid_iterator204) if iterators `first`
and `last` belong to a primitive type (number, boolean, or string), but `first` does not point to the first
element any more. In this case, the range `[first, last)` is undefined. See example code below.
- Throws [`invalid_iterator.206`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptioninvalid_iterator206) if iterators `first`
and `last` belong to a `#!json null` value. In this case, the range `[first, last)` is undefined.

## Exception safety
1. Strong guarantee: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes to any JSON value.
2. No-throw guarantee: this constructor never throws exceptions.
3. Depends on the called constructor. For types directly supported by the library (i.e., all types for which no
`to_json()` function was provided), strong guarantee holds: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes to any
JSON value.

## Notes
- Overload 5:
!!! note
When used without parentheses around an empty initializer list, `basic_json()` is called instead of this
function, yielding the JSON `#!json null` value.
- Overload 7:
!!! info "Preconditions"
- Iterators `first` and `last` must be initialized. **This precondition is enforced with an assertion (see
warning).** If assertions are switched off, a violation of this precondition yields undefined behavior.
- Range `[first, last)` is valid. Usually, this precondition cannot be checked efficiently. Only certain edge
cases are detected; see the description of the exceptions above. A violation of this precondition yields
undefined behavior.
!!! warning
A precondition is enforced with a runtime assertion that will result in calling `std::abort` if this
precondition is not met. Assertions can be disabled by defining `NDEBUG` at compile time. See
<https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/error/assert> for more information.
- Overload 8:
!!! info "Postcondition"
`#!cpp *this == other`
- Overload 9:
!!! info "Postconditions"
- `#!cpp `*this` has the same value as `other` before the call.
- `other` is a JSON `#!json null` value

# basic_json::binary

// (1)

```
1. Creates a JSON binary array value from a given binary container.
2. Creates a JSON binary array value from a given binary container with subtype.
Binary values are part of various binary formats, such as CBOR, MessagePack, and BSON. This constructor is used to
create a value for serialization to those formats.
## Parameters
`init` (in)
: container containing bytes to use as binary type
`subtype` (in)
: subtype to use in CBOR, MessagePack, and BSON
## Return value
JSON binary array value
## Exception safety
Strong guarantee: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes in the JSON value.
## Complexity
Linear in the size of `init`; constant for `typename binary_t::container_type&& init` versions.
## Notes
Note, this function exists because of the difficulty in correctly specifying the correct template overload in the
standard value ctor, as both JSON arrays and JSON binary arrays are backed with some form of a `std::vector`. Because
JSON binary arrays are a non-standard extension it was decided that it would be best to prevent automatic initialization
of a binary array type, for backwards compatibility and so it does not happen on accident.

This type is a type designed to carry binary data that appears in various serialized formats, such as CBOR's Major Type
2, MessagePack's bin, and BSON's generic binary subtype. This type is NOT a part of standard JSON and exists solely for
compatibility with these binary types. As such, it is simply defined as an ordered sequence of zero or more byte values.
Additionally, as an implementation detail, the subtype of the binary data is carried around as a `std::uint8_t`, which
is compatible with both of the binary data formats that use binary subtyping, (though the specific numbering is
incompatible with each other, and it is up to the user to translate between them).
[CBOR's RFC 7049](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7049) describes this type as:
> Major type 2: a byte string. The string's length in bytes is represented following the rules for positive integers
> (major type 0).
[MessagePack's documentation on the bin type
family](https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack/blob/master/spec.md#bin-format-family) describes this type as:
> Bin format family stores an byte array in 2, 3, or 5 bytes of extra bytes in addition to the size of the byte array.
[BSON's specifications](http://bsonspec.org/spec.html) describe several binary types; however, this type is intended to
represent the generic binary type which has the description:
> Generic binary subtype - This is the most commonly used binary subtype and should be the 'default' for drivers and
> tools.
None of these impose any limitations on the internal representation other than the basic unit of storage be some type of
array whose parts are decomposable into bytes.
The default representation of this binary format is a `#!cpp std::vector<std::uint8_t>`, which is a very common way to
represent a byte array in modern C++.
## Template parameters
`BinaryType`
: container type to store arrays
## Notes
#### Default type
The default values for `BinaryType` is `#!cpp std::vector<std::uint8_t>`.
#### Storage
Binary Arrays are stored as pointers in a `basic_json` type. That is, for any access to array values, a pointer of the
type `#!cpp binary_t*` must be dereferenced.
#### Notes on subtypes
- CBOR
- Binary values are represented as byte strings. Subtypes are written as tags.
- MessagePack
- If a subtype is given and the binary array contains exactly 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 elements, the fixext family (fixext1,
fixext2, fixext4, fixext8) is used. For other sizes, the ext family (ext8, ext16, ext32) is used. The subtype is
then added as singed 8-bit integer.
- If no subtype is given, the bin family (bin8, bin16, bin32) is used.
- BSON
- If a subtype is given, it is used and added as unsigned 8-bit integer.
- If no subtype is given, the generic binary subtype 0x00 is used.

# basic_json::boolean_t
```cpp
using boolean_t = BooleanType;
```
The type used to store JSON booleans.
[RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) implicitly describes a boolean as a type which differentiates the two literals
`#!json true` and `#!json false`.
To store objects in C++, a type is defined by the template parameter `BooleanType` which chooses the type to use.
## Notes
#### Default type
With the default values for `BooleanType` (`#!cpp bool`), the default value for `boolean_t` is `#!cpp bool`.
#### Storage
Boolean values are stored directly inside a `basic_json` type.

// (3)
size_type erase(const typename object_t::key_type& key);
// (4)
void erase(const size_type idx);
```
1. Removes an element from a JSON value specified by iterator `pos`. The iterator `pos` must be valid and
dereferenceable. Thus the `end()` iterator (which is valid, but is not dereferenceable) cannot be used as a value for
`pos`.
If called on a primitive type other than `#!json null`, the resulting JSON value will be `#!json null`.
2. Remove an element range specified by `[first; last)` from a JSON value. The iterator `first` does not need to be
dereferenceable if `first == last`: erasing an empty range is a no-op.
If called on a primitive type other than `#!json null`, the resulting JSON value will be `#!json null`.
3. Removes an element from a JSON object by key.
4. Removes an element from a JSON array by index.
## Parameters
`pos` (in)
: iterator to the element to remove
`first` (in)
: iterator to the beginning of the range to remove
`last` (in)
: iterator past the end of the range to remove
`key` (in)
: object key of the elements to remove
`idx` (in)
: array index of the element to remove
## Return value
1. Iterator following the last removed element. If the iterator `pos` refers to the last element, the `end()` iterator
is returned.
2. Iterator following the last removed element. If the iterator `last` refers to the last element, the `end()` iterator
is returned.
3. Number of elements removed. If `ObjectType` is the default `std::map` type, the return value will always be `0`
(`key` was not found) or `1` (`key` was found).

- Throws [`invalid_iterator.202`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptioninvalid_iterator202) if called on an

- Throws [`invalid_iterator.205`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptioninvalid_iterator205) if called on a

example: `"cannot use erase() with null"`
- Throws [`invalid_iterator.203`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptioninvalid_iterator203) if called on iterators
which does not belong to the current JSON value; example: `"iterators do not fit current value"`
- Throws [`invalid_iterator.204`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptioninvalid_iterator204) if called on a
primitive type with invalid iterators (i.e., if `first != begin()` and `last != end()`); example: `"iterators out

- Throws [`out_of_range.401`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range401) when `idx >= size()`; example:
`"array index 17 is out of range"`
## Exception safety
Strong exception safety: if an exception occurs, the original value stays intact.
## Complexity
1. The complexity depends on the type:
- objects: amortized constant
- arrays: linear in distance between `pos` and the end of the container
- strings and binary: linear in the length of the member
- other types: constant
2. The complexity depends on the type:
- objects: `log(size()) + std::distance(first, last)`
- arrays: linear in the distance between `first` and `last`, plus linear
in the distance between `last` and end of the container
- strings and binary: linear in the length of the member
- other types: constant
3. `log(size()) + count(key)`
4. Linear in distance between `idx` and the end of the container.
## Notes
1. Invalidates iterators and references at or after the point of the
erase, including the `end()` iterator.
2. /
3. References and iterators to the erased elements are invalidated. Other references and iterators are not affected.

member `id` for exception ids. It is used as the base class for all exceptions thrown by the `basic_json` class. This
class can hence be used as "wildcard" to catch exceptions, see example below.
```plantuml
std::exception <|-- basic_json::exception
basic_json::exception <|-- basic_json::parse_error
basic_json::exception <|-- basic_json::invalid_iterator
basic_json::exception <|-- basic_json::type_error
basic_json::exception <|-- basic_json::out_of_range
basic_json::exception <|-- basic_json::other_error
interface std::exception {}
class basic_json::exception #FFFF00 {
+ const int id
+ const char* what() const
}
class basic_json::parse_error {
+ const std::size_t byte
}
```
Subclasses:
- [`parse_error`](parse_error.md) for exceptions indicating a parse error
- [`invalid_iterator`](invalid_iterator.md) for exceptions indicating errors with iterators
- [`type_error`](type_error.md) for exceptions indicating executing a member function with a wrong type
- [`out_of_range`](out_of_range.md) for exceptions indicating access out of the defined range
- [`other_error`](other_error.md) for exceptions indicating other library errors
## Member functions
- **what** - returns explanatory string
## Member variables
- **id** - the id of the exception
## Example
??? example
The following code shows how arbitrary library exceptions can be caught.
```cpp

# basic_json::find
```cpp
template<typename KeyT>
iterator find(KeyT&& key);
template<typename KeyT>
const_iterator find(KeyT&& key) const
```
Finds an element in a JSON object with key equivalent to `key`. If the element is not found or the JSON value is not an
object, `end()` is returned.
## Template parameters
`KeyT`
: A type for an object key.
## Parameters
`key` (in)
: key value of the element to search for.
## Return value
Iterator to an element with key equivalent to `key`. If no such element is found or the JSON value is not an object,
past-the-end (see `end()`) iterator is returned.
## Exception safety
Strong exception safety: if an exception occurs, the original value stays intact.
## Complexity
Logarithmic in the size of the JSON object.
## Notes
This method always returns `end()` when executed on a JSON type that is not an object.
## Example
??? example
The example shows how `find()` is used.
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/find__key_type.cpp"
```
Output:

# basic_json::flatten
```cpp
basic_json flatten() const;
```
The function creates a JSON object whose keys are JSON pointers (see [RFC 6901](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6901))
and whose values are all primitive (see [`is_primitive()`](is_primitive.md) for more information). The original JSON
value can be restored using the [`unflatten()`](unflatten.md) function.
## Return value
an object that maps JSON pointers to primitive values
## Exception safety
Strong exception safety: if an exception occurs, the original value stays intact.
## Complexity
Linear in the size the JSON value.
## Notes
Empty objects and arrays are flattened to `#!json null` and will not be reconstructed correctly by the
[`unflatten()`](unflatten.md) function.
## Example

# basic_json::front
```cpp
reference front();
const_reference front() const;

Returns a reference to the first element in the container. For a JSON container `#!cpp c`, the expression
`#!cpp c.front()` is equivalent to `#!cpp *c.begin()`.
## Return value
In case of a structured type (array or object), a reference to the first element is returned. In case of number, string,
boolean, or binary values, a reference to the value is returned.
## Exceptions
If the JSON value is `#!json null`, exception
[`invalid_iterator.214`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptioninvalid_iterator214) is thrown.
## Exception safety
Strong guarantee: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes in the JSON value.
## Complexity
Constant.

1. Explicit type conversion between the JSON value and a compatible value which is
[CopyConstructible](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/CopyConstructible) and
[DefaultConstructible](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/DefaultConstructible). The value is converted by
calling the `json_serializer<ValueType>` `from_json()` method.
The function is equivalent to executing
```cpp
ValueType ret;
JSONSerializer<ValueType>::from_json(*this, ret);
return ret;
```
This overloads is chosen if:
- `ValueType` is not `basic_json`,
- `json_serializer<ValueType>` has a `from_json()` method of the form
`void from_json(const basic_json&, ValueType&)`, and
- `json_serializer<ValueType>` does not have a `from_json()` method of the form
`ValueType from_json(const basic_json&)`
If the type is **not** [CopyConstructible](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/CopyConstructible) and
**not** [DefaultConstructible](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/DefaultConstructible), the value is
converted by calling the `json_serializer<ValueType>` `from_json()` method.
The function is then equivalent to executing
```cpp
return JSONSerializer<ValueTypeCV>::from_json(*this);
```
This overloads is chosen if:
- `ValueType` is not `basic_json` and
- `json_serializer<ValueType>` has a `from_json()` method of the form
`ValueType from_json(const basic_json&)`
If `json_serializer<ValueType>` has both overloads of `from_json()`, the latter one is chosen.
2. Overload for `basic_json` specializations. The function is equivalent to executing
```cpp
return *this;
```
3. Explicit pointer access to the internally stored JSON value. No copies are made.
## Template parameters
`ValueType`
: the value type to return
`BasicJsonType`
: a specialization of `basic_json`
`PointerType`
: pointer type; must be a pointer to [`array_t`](array_t.md), [`object_t`](object_t.md), [`string_t`](string_t.md),
[`boolean_t`](boolean_t.md), [`number_integer_t`](number_integer_t.md), or
[`number_unsigned_t`](number_unsigned_t.md), [`number_float_t`](number_float_t.md), or [`binary_t`](binary_t.md).
Other types will not compile.
## Return value
1. copy of the JSON value, converted to `ValueType`
2. a copy of `#!cpp *this`, converted into `BasicJsonType`
3. pointer to the internally stored JSON value if the requested pointer type fits to the JSON value; `#!cpp nullptr`
otherwise
## Exceptions
Depends on what `json_serializer<ValueType>` `from_json()` method throws
## Notes
!!! warning
Writing data to the pointee (overload 3) of the result yields an undefined state.
## Example
??? example
The example below shows several conversions from JSON values
to other types. There a few things to note: (1) Floating-point numbers can
be converted to integers, (2) A JSON array can be converted to a standard
`std::vector<short>`, (3) A JSON object can be converted to C++
associative containers such as `std::unordered_map<std::string, json>`.

## Complexity
1. Constant plus linear in the distance between `pos` and end of the container.
2. Linear in `cnt` plus linear in the distance between `pos` and end of the container.
3. Linear in `#!cpp std::distance(first, last)` plus linear in the distance between `pos` and end of the container.
4. Linear in `ilist.size()` plus linear in the distance between `pos` and end of the container.
5. Logarithmic: `O(N*log(size() + N))`, where `N` is the number of elements to insert.

# basic_json::is_discarded
```cpp
constexpr bool is_discarded() const noexcept;
```
This function returns `#!cpp true` for a JSON value if either:
- the value was discarded during parsing with a callback function (see [`parser_callback_t`](parser_callback_t.md)), or
- the value is the result of parsing invalid JSON with parameter `allow_exceptions` set to `#!cpp false`; see
[`parse`](parse.md) for more information.
## Return value
`#!cpp true` if type is discarded, `#!cpp false` otherwise.
## Exception safety
No-throw guarantee: this member function never throws exceptions.
## Complexity
Constant.
## Notes
!!! note
Discarded values are never compared equal with [`operator==`](operator_eq.md). That is, checking whether a JSON
value `j` is discarded will only work via:
```cpp
j.is_discarded()
```
because
```cpp
j == json::value_t::discarded
```
will always be `#!cpp false`.
!!! note
When a value is discarded by a callback function (see [`parser_callback_t`](parser_callback_t.md)) during parsing,
then it is removed when it is part of a structured value. For instance, if the second value of an array is discared,
instead of `#!json [null, discarded, false]`, the array `#!json [null, false]` is returned. Only if the top-level
value is discarded, the return value of the `parse` call is discarded.
This function will always be `#!cpp false` for JSON values after parsing. That is, discarded values can only occur
during parsing, but will be removed when inside a structured value or replaced by null in other cases.

# basic_json::items
```cpp
iteration_proxy<iterator> items() noexcept;
iteration_proxy<const_iterator> items() const noexcept;
```
This function allows to access `iterator::key()` and `iterator::value()` during range-based for loops. In these loops, a
reference to the JSON values is returned, so there is no access to the underlying iterator.
For loop without `items()` function:
```cpp
for (auto it = j_object.begin(); it != j_object.end(); ++it)
{
std::cout << "key: " << it.key() << ", value:" << it.value() << '\n';
}
```
Range-based for loop without `items()` function:
```cpp
for (auto it : j_object)
{
// "it" is of type json::reference and has no key() member
std::cout << "value: " << it << '\n';
}
```
Range-based for loop with `items()` function:
```cpp
for (auto& el : j_object.items())
{
std::cout << "key: " << el.key() << ", value:" << el.value() << '\n';
}
```
The `items()` function also allows to use
[structured bindings](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/structured_binding) (C++17):
```cpp
for (auto& [key, val] : j_object.items())
{
std::cout << "key: " << key << ", value:" << val << '\n';
}
```
## Return value
iteration proxy object wrapping the current value with an interface to use in range-based for loops
## Exception safety
Strong guarantee: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes in the JSON value.
## Complexity
Constant.
## Notes
When iterating over an array, `key()` will return the index of the element as string (see example). For primitive types
(e.g., numbers), `key()` returns an empty string.
!!! warning
Using `items()` on temporary objects is dangerous. Make sure the object's lifetime exeeds the iteration. See

# basic_json::merge_patch

```
The merge patch format is primarily intended for use with the HTTP PATCH method as a means of describing a set of
modifications to a target resource's content. This function applies a merge patch to the current JSON value.
The function implements the following algorithm from Section 2 of
[RFC 7396 (JSON Merge Patch)](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7396):
```python
define MergePatch(Target, Patch):
if Patch is an Object:
if Target is not an Object:
Target = {} // Ignore the contents and set it to an empty Object
for each Name/Value pair in Patch:
if Value is null:
if Name exists in Target:
remove the Name/Value pair from Target
else:
Target[Name] = MergePatch(Target[Name], Value)
return Target
else:
return Patch
```
Thereby, `Target` is the current object; that is, the patch is applied to the current value.
## Parameters

: the patch to apply
## Complexity
Linear in the lengths of `apply_patch`.

# basic_json::number_float_t
```cpp
using number_float_t = NumberFloatType;
```
The type used to store JSON numbers (floating-point).
[RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) describes numbers as follows:
> The representation of numbers is similar to that used in most programming languages. A number is represented in base
> 10 using decimal digits. It contains an integer component that may be prefixed with an optional minus sign, which may
> be followed by a fraction part and/or an exponent part. Leading zeros are not allowed. (...) Numeric values that
> cannot be represented in the grammar below (such as Infinity and NaN) are not permitted.
This description includes both integer and floating-point numbers. However, C++ allows more precise storage if it is
known whether the number is a signed integer, an unsigned integer or a floating-point number. Therefore, three different
types, [`number_integer_t`](number_integer_t.md), [`number_unsigned_t`](number_unsigned_t.md) and `number_float_t` are
used.
To store floating-point numbers in C++, a type is defined by the template parameter `NumberFloatType` which chooses the
type to use.
## Notes
#### Default type
With the default values for `NumberFloatType` (`double`), the default value for `number_float_t` is `#!cpp double`.
#### Default behavior
- The restrictions about leading zeros is not enforced in C++. Instead, leading zeros in floating-point literals will be
ignored. Internally, the value will be stored as decimal number. For instance, the C++ floating-point literal `01.2`
will be serialized to `1.2`. During deserialization, leading zeros yield an error.
- Not-a-number (NaN) values will be serialized to `null`.
#### Limits
[RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) states:
> This specification allows implementations to set limits on the range and precision of numbers accepted. Since software
> that implements IEEE 754-2008 binary64 (double precision) numbers is generally available and widely used, good
> interoperability can be achieved by implementations that expect no more precision or range than these provide, in the
> sense that implementations will approximate JSON numbers within the expected precision.
This implementation does exactly follow this approach, as it uses double precision floating-point numbers. Note values
smaller than `-1.79769313486232e+308` and values greater than `1.79769313486232e+308` will be stored as NaN internally
and be serialized to `null`.
#### Storage
Floating-point number values are stored directly inside a `basic_json` type.

This description includes both integer and floating-point numbers. However, C++ allows more precise storage if it is
known whether the number is a signed integer, an unsigned integer or a floating-point number. Therefore, three different
types, `number_integer_t`, [`number_unsigned_t`](number_unsigned_t.md) and [`number_float_t`](number_float_t.md) are
used.
To store integer numbers in C++, a type is defined by the template parameter `NumberIntegerType` which chooses the type
to use.
## Notes
#### Default type
With the default values for `NumberIntegerType` (`std::int64_t`), the default value for `number_integer_t` is
`#!cpp std::int64_t`.
#### Default behavior
- The restrictions about leading zeros is not enforced in C++. Instead, leading zeros in integer literals lead to an
interpretation as octal number. Internally, the value will be stored as decimal number. For instance, the C++ integer
literal `010` will be serialized to `8`. During deserialization, leading zeros yield an error.
- Not-a-number (NaN) values will be serialized to `null`.
#### Limits
[RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) specifies:
> An implementation may set limits on the range and precision of numbers.
When the default type is used, the maximal integer number that can be stored is `9223372036854775807` (INT64_MAX) and
the minimal integer number that can be stored is `-9223372036854775808` (INT64_MIN). Integer numbers that are out of
range will yield over/underflow when used in a constructor. During deserialization, too large or small integer numbers
will be automatically be stored as [`number_unsigned_t`](number_unsigned_t.md) or [`number_float_t`](number_float_t.md).
[RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) further states:
> Note that when such software is used, numbers that are integers and are in the range \f$[-2^{53}+1, 2^{53}-1]\f$ are
> interoperable in the sense that implementations will agree exactly on their numeric values.
As this range is a subrange of the exactly supported range [INT64_MIN, INT64_MAX], this class's integer type is
interoperable.
#### Storage
Integer number values are stored directly inside a `basic_json` type.

# basic_json::object
```cpp
static basic_json object(initializer_list_t init = {});
```
Creates a JSON object value from a given initializer list. The initializer lists elements must be pairs, and their first
elements must be strings. If the initializer list is empty, the empty object `#!json {}` is created.
## Parameters
`init` (in)
: initializer list with JSON values to create an object from (optional)
## Return value
JSON object value
## Exceptions
Throws [`type_error.301`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error301) if `init` is not a list of pairs whose
first elements are strings. In this case, no object can be created. When such a value is passed to
`basic_json(initializer_list_t, bool, value_t)`, an array would have been created from the passed initializer list
`init`. See example below.
## Exception safety
Strong guarantee: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes in the JSON value.
## Complexity
Linear in the size of `init`.
## Notes
This function is only added for symmetry reasons. In contrast to the related function `array(initializer_list_t)`, there
are no cases which can only be expressed by this function. That is, any initializer list `init` can also be passed to
the initializer list constructor `basic_json(initializer_list_t, bool, value_t)`.
## Examples

The following code shows an example for the `object` function.
```cpp

# basic_json::object_t
```cpp
using object_t = ObjectType<StringType,
basic_json,
object_comparator_t,
AllocatorType<std::pair<const StringType, basic_json>>>;
```
The type used to store JSON objects.
[RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) describes JSON objects as follows:
> An object is an unordered collection of zero or more name/value pairs, where a name is a string and a value is a
> string, number, boolean, null, object, or array.
To store objects in C++, a type is defined by the template parameters described below.
## Template parameters
`ObjectType`
: the container to store objects (e.g., `std::map` or `std::unordered_map`)
`StringType`
: the type of the keys or names (e.g., `std::string`). The comparison function `std::less<StringType>` is used to
order elements inside the container.
`AllocatorType`
: the allocator to use for objects (e.g., `std::allocator`)
## Notes
#### Default type
With the default values for `ObjectType` (`std::map`), `StringType` (`std::string`), and `AllocatorType`
(`std::allocator`), the default value for `object_t` is:
```cpp
// until C++14
std::map<
std::string, // key_type
basic_json, // value_type
std::less<std::string>, // key_compare
std::allocator<std::pair<const std::string, basic_json>> // allocator_type
>
// since C++14
std::map<
std::string, // key_type
basic_json, // value_type
std::less<>, // key_compare
std::allocator<std::pair<const std::string, basic_json>> // allocator_type
>
```
See [`object_comparator_t`](object_comparator_t.md) for more information.
#### Behavior
The choice of `object_t` influences the behavior of the JSON class. With the default type, objects have the following
behavior:
- When all names are unique, objects will be interoperable in the sense that all software implementations receiving that
object will agree on the name-value mappings.
- When the names within an object are not unique, it is unspecified which one of the values for a given key will be
chosen. For instance, `#!json {"key": 2, "key": 1}` could be equal to either `#!json {"key": 1}` or
`#!json {"key": 2}`.
- Internally, name/value pairs are stored in lexicographical order of the names. Objects will also be serialized (see
[`dump`](dump.md)) in this order. For instance, `#!json {"b": 1, "a": 2}` and `#!json {"a": 2, "b": 1}` will be stored
and serialized as `#!json {"a": 2, "b": 1}`.
- When comparing objects, the order of the name/value pairs is irrelevant. This makes objects interoperable in the sense
that they will not be affected by these differences. For instance, `#!json {"b": 1, "a": 2}` and
`#!json {"a": 2, "b": 1}` will be treated as equal.
#### Limits
[RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159) specifies:
> An implementation may set limits on the maximum depth of nesting.
In this class, the object's limit of nesting is not explicitly constrained. However, a maximum depth of nesting may be
introduced by the compiler or runtime environment. A theoretical limit can be queried by calling the
[`max_size`](max_size.md) function of a JSON object.
#### Storage
Objects are stored as pointers in a `basic_json` type. That is, for any access to object values, a pointer of type
`object_t*` must be dereferenced.
#### Object key order
The order name/value pairs are added to the object is *not* preserved by the library. Therefore, iterating an object may
return name/value pairs in a different order than they were originally stored. In fact, keys will be traversed in
alphabetical order as `std::map` with `std::less` is used by default. Please note this behavior conforms to
[RFC 7159](http://rfc7159.net/rfc7159), because any order implements the specified "unordered" nature of JSON objects.

# basic_json::operator+=
```cpp
// (1)
reference operator+=(basic_json&& val);
reference operator+=(const basic_json& val);
// (2)
reference operator+=(const typename object_t::value_type& val);
// (3)
reference operator+=(initializer_list_t init);
```
1. Appends the given element `val` to the end of the JSON array. If the function is called on a JSON null value, an
empty array is created before appending `val`.
2. Inserts the given element `val` to the JSON object. If the function is called on a JSON null value, an empty object
is created before inserting `val`.
3. This function allows to use `operator+=` with an initializer list. In case
1. the current value is an object,
2. the initializer list `init` contains only two elements, and
3. the first element of `init` is a string,
`init` is converted into an object element and added using `operator+=(const typename object_t::value_type&)`.
Otherwise, `init` is converted to a JSON value and added using `operator+=(basic_json&&)`.
## Parameters
`val` (in)
: the value to add to the JSON array/object
`init` (in)
: an initializer list
## Return value
`#!cpp *this`
## Exceptions
1. The function can throw the following exceptions:
- Throws [`type_error.308`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error308) when called on a type other than
JSON array or null; example: `"cannot use operator+=() with number"`
2. The function can throw the following exceptions:
- Throws [`type_error.308`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error308) when called on a type other than
JSON object or null; example: `"cannot use operator+=() with number"`
## Complexity
1. Amortized constant.
2. Logarithmic in the size of the container, O(log(`size()`)).
3. Linear in the size of the initializer list `init`.
## Notes
(3) This function is required to resolve an ambiguous overload error, because pairs like `{"key", "value"}` can be both
interpreted as `object_t::value_type` or `std::initializer_list<basic_json>`, see
[#235](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/235) for more information.
## Examples

1. Returns a reference to the element at specified location `idx`.
2. Returns a reference to the element at with specified key `key`.
3. Returns a reference to the element at with specified JSON pointer `ptr`.
## Template parameters
`T`
: string literal convertible to `object_t::key_type`
## Parameters
`idx` (in)
: index of the element to access
`key` (in)
: object key of the elements to remove
`ptr` (in)
: JSON pointer to the desired element
## Return value
1. reference to the element at index `idx`
2. reference to the element at key `key`
3. reference to the element pointed to by `ptr`
## Exceptions
1. The function can throw the following exceptions:
- Throws [`type_error.305`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error305) if the JSON value is not an array
or null; in that cases, using the `[]` operator with an index makes no sense.
2. The function can throw the following exceptions:
- Throws [`type_error.305`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error305) if the JSON value is not an array
or null; in that cases, using the `[]` operator with an index makes no sense.
3. The function can throw the following exceptions:
- Throws [`parse_error.106`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error106) if an array index in the passed
JSON pointer `ptr` begins with '0'.
- Throws [`parse_error.109`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error109) if an array index in the passed
JSON pointer `ptr` is not a number.
- Throws [`out_of_range.402`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range402) if the array index '-' is used
in the passed JSON pointer `ptr` for the const version.
- Throws [`out_of_range.404`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range404) if the JSON pointer `ptr` can
not be resolved.
## Notes
!!! danger
1. If the element with key `idx` does not exist, the behavior is undefined.
2. If the element with key `key` does not exist, the behavior is undefined and is **guarded by an assertion**!
1. The non-const version may add values: If `idx` is beyond the range of the array (i.e., `idx >= size()`), then the
array is silently filled up with `#!json null` values to make `idx` a valid reference to the last stored element. In
case the value was `#!json null` before, it is converted to an array.
2. If `key` is not found in the object, then it is silently added to the object and filled with a `#!json null` value to
make `key` a valid reference. In case the value was `#!json null` before, it is converted to an object.
3. `null` values are created in arrays and objects if necessary.
In particular:
- If the JSON pointer points to an object key that does not exist, it is created an filled with a `#!json null`
value before a reference to it is returned.
- If the JSON pointer points to an array index that does not exist, it is created an filled with a `#!json null`
value before a reference to it is returned. All indices between the current maximum and the given index are also
filled with `#!json null`.
- The special value `-` is treated as a synonym for the index past the end.
## Exception safety
Strong exception safety: if an exception occurs, the original value stays intact.
## Complexity
1. Constant if `idx` is in the range of the array. Otherwise linear in `idx - size()`.
2. Logarithmic in the size of the container.
3. Constant

# basic_json::operator ValueType
```cpp
template<typename ValueType>
JSON_EXPLICIT operator ValueType() const;
```
Implicit type conversion between the JSON value and a compatible value. The call is realized by calling
[`get()`](get.md). See [Notes](#notes) for the meaning of `JSON_EXPLICIT`.
## Template parameters
`ValueType`
: the value type to return
## Return value
copy of the JSON value, converted to `ValueType`
## Exceptions
Depends on what `json_serializer<ValueType>` `from_json()` method throws
## Complexity
Linear in the size of the JSON value.
## Notes
By default `JSON_EXPLICIT` defined to the empty string, so the signature is:
```cpp
template<typename ValueType>
operator ValueType() const;
```
If [`JSON_USE_IMPLICIT_CONVERSIONS`](../../features/macros.md#json_use_implicit_conversions) is set to `0`,
`JSON_EXPLICIT` is defined to `#!cpp explicit`:
```cpp
template<typename ValueType>
explicit operator ValueType() const;
```
That is, implicit conversions can be switched off by defining
[`JSON_USE_IMPLICIT_CONVERSIONS`](../../features/macros.md#json_use_implicit_conversions) to `0`.
## Example
??? example
The example below shows several conversions from JSON values
to other types. There a few things to note: (1) Floating-point numbers can
be converted to integers, (2) A JSON array can be converted to a standard
`std::vector<short>`, (3) A JSON object can be converted to C++
associative containers such as `std::unordered_map<std::string, json>`.
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/operator__ValueType.cpp"
```
Output:
```json
--8<-- "examples/operator__ValueType.output"
```
## Version history
- Since version 1.0.0.
- Macros `JSON_EXPLICIT`/[`JSON_USE_IMPLICIT_CONVERSIONS`](../../features/macros.md#json_use_implicit_conversions) added
in version 3.9.0.

```
Compares two JSON values for equality according to the following rules:
- Two JSON values are equal if (1) they are not discarded, (2) they are from the same type, and (3) their stored values
are the same according to their respective `operator==`.
- Integer and floating-point numbers are automatically converted before comparison. Note that two NaN values are always
treated as unequal.
## Template parameters
`ScalarType`
: a scalar type according to `std::is_scalar<ScalarType>::value`
## Parameters
`lhs` (in)
: first value to consider
`rhs` (in)
: second value to consider
## Return value
whether the values `lhs` and `rhs` are equal
## Exception safety
No-throw guarantee: this function never throws exceptions.
## Complexity
Linear.
## Notes
!!! note
- NaN values never compare equal to themselves or to other NaN values.
- JSON `#!cpp null` values are all equal.
- Discarded values never compare equal to themselves.
!!! note
Floating-point numbers inside JSON values numbers are compared with `json::number_float_t::operator==` which is
`double::operator==` by default. To compare floating-point while respecting an epsilon, an alternative
[comparison function](https://github.com/mariokonrad/marnav/blob/master/include/marnav/math/floatingpoint.hpp#L34-#L39)
could be used, for instance
```cpp
template<typename T, typename = typename std::enable_if<std::is_floating_point<T>::value, T>::type>
inline bool is_same(T a, T b, T epsilon = std::numeric_limits<T>::epsilon()) noexcept
{
return std::abs(a - b) <= epsilon;
}
```
Or you can self-defined operator equal function like this:
```cpp
bool my_equal(const_reference lhs, const_reference rhs)
{
const auto lhs_type lhs.type();
const auto rhs_type rhs.type();
if (lhs_type == rhs_type)
{
switch(lhs_type)
// self_defined case
case value_t::number_float:
return std::abs(lhs - rhs) <= std::numeric_limits<float>::epsilon();
// other cases remain the same with the original
...
}
...
}
```

# basic_json::parse_error
```cpp
class parse_error : public exception;
```
This exception is thrown by the library when a parse error occurs. Parse errors can occur during the deserialization of
JSON text, BSON, CBOR, MessagePack, UBJSON, as well as when using JSON Patch.
Exceptions have ids 1xx.
```plantuml
std::exception <|-- basic_json::exception
basic_json::exception <|-- basic_json::parse_error
basic_json::exception <|-- basic_json::invalid_iterator
basic_json::exception <|-- basic_json::type_error
basic_json::exception <|-- basic_json::out_of_range
basic_json::exception <|-- basic_json::other_error
interface std::exception {}
class basic_json::exception {
+ const int id
+ const char* what() const
}
class basic_json::parse_error #FFFF00 {
+ const std::size_t byte
}
```
## Member functions
- **what** - returns explanatory string
## Member variables
- **id** - the id of the exception
- **byte** - byte index of the parse error
## Note
For an input with _n_ bytes, 1 is the index of the first character and _n_+1 is the index of the terminating null byte
or the end of file. This also holds true when reading a byte vector for binary formats.
## Example

The parser callback distinguishes the following events:
- `object_start`: the parser read `{` and started to process a JSON object
- `key`: the parser read a key of a value in an object
- `object_end`: the parser read `}` and finished processing a JSON object
- `array_start`: the parser read `[` and started to process a JSON array

# basic_json::parser_callback_t
```cpp
template<typename BasicJsonType>
using parser_callback_t =
std::function<bool(int depth, parse_event_t event, BasicJsonType& parsed)>;
```
With a parser callback function, the result of parsing a JSON text can be influenced. When passed to
[`parse`](parse.md), it is called on certain events (passed as [`parse_event_t`](parse_event_t.md) via parameter
`event`) with a set recursion depth `depth` and context JSON value `parsed`. The return value of the callback function
is a boolean indicating whether the element that emitted the callback shall be kept or not.
We distinguish six scenarios (determined by the event type) in which the callback function can be called. The following
table describes the values of the parameters `depth`, `event`, and `parsed`.
parameter `event` | description | parameter `depth` | parameter `parsed`
------------------ | ----------- | ------------------ | -------------------
`parse_event_t::object_start` | the parser read `{` and started to process a JSON object | depth of the parent of the JSON object | a JSON value with type discarded
`parse_event_t::key` | the parser read a key of a value in an object | depth of the currently parsed JSON object | a JSON string containing the key
`parse_event_t::object_end` | the parser read `}` and finished processing a JSON object | depth of the parent of the JSON object | the parsed JSON object
`parse_event_t::array_start` | the parser read `[` and started to process a JSON array | depth of the parent of the JSON array | a JSON value with type discarded
`parse_event_t::array_end` | the parser read `]` and finished processing a JSON array | depth of the parent of the JSON array | the parsed JSON array
`parse_event_t::value` | the parser finished reading a JSON value | depth of the value | the parsed JSON value
![Example when certain parse events are triggered](../../images/callback_events.png)
Discarding a value (i.e., returning `#!cpp false`) has different effects depending on the context in which function was
called:
- Discarded values in structured types are skipped. That is, the parser will behave as if the discarded value was never
read.
- In case a value outside a structured type is skipped, it is replaced with `null`. This case happens if the top-level
element is skipped.
## Parameters
`depth` (in)
: the depth of the recursion during parsing
`event` (in)
: an event of type [`parse_event_t`](parse_event_t.md) indicating the context in
the callback function has been called
`parsed` (in, out)
: the current intermediate parse result; note that
writing to this value has no effect for `parse_event_t::key` events
## Return value
Whether the JSON value which called the function during parsing should be kept (`#!cpp true`) or not (`#!cpp false`). In
the latter case, it is either skipped completely or replaced by an empty discarded object.
# Example
??? example
