1. Linear in the number of members: as for [`ordered_json`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/ordered_json/index.md), members are compared one after another, in document order, stopping at the first match. Each comparison first checks the key's length -- already known from the index, without reading the key bytes -- before comparing its content. Objects with 128 or more members get a hash index of their keys while parsing, so that a lookup in them takes constant time on average.

1. Linear in `idx`: elements are skipped one at a time from the first one, since they are not a fixed size in the index (unlike `BasicJsonType`'s array, which is random-access). Constant if no element of the array is an array or object, since the elements are then adjacent in the index.

If the source text repeats a key, this resolves to the *first* member with it, not to the last one that [`materialize()`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_view/materialize/index.md) and `parse()` keep. See the [Notes on duplicate keys](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_view/operator%5B%5D/#notes) of `operator[]` and [Duplicate keys](https://json.nlohmann.me/features/json_view/#duplicate-keys) for the reasons and for how to get the last value.

</code></pre></div> <p>Returns an iterator to the first element of an array, or the first member value of an object, in <strong>document order</strong> — the order the values appear in the source text, not sorted by key. A primitive value iterates as a range of one element (itself), and a <code class=highlight><span class=kc>null</span></code> value or a <a href=../is_discarded/ >discarded</a> view iterates as an empty range.</p> <h2 id=return-value>Return value<a class=headerlink href=#return-value title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2> <p>Iterator to the first element.</p> <h2 id=exception-safety>Exception safety<a class=headerlink href=#exception-safety title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2> <p>No-throw guarantee: this function never throws exceptions.</p> <h2 id=complexity>Complexity<a class=headerlink href=#complexity title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2> <p>Constant.</p> <h2 id=notes>Notes<a class=headerlink href=#notes title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2> <p>For an object, iteration visits <strong>every</strong> member, including all occurrences of a duplicate key — unlike <a href=../operator%5B%5D/ ><code>operator[]</code></a>, <a href=../at/ ><code>at</code></a>, <a href=../find/ ><code>find</code></a>, and <a href=../contains/ ><code>contains</code></a>, which all resolve to the <em>first</em> member with a given key. See the <a href=../operator%5B%5D/#notes>Notes on duplicate keys</a> of <code>operator[]</code>.</p> <p>Because objects are iterated in document order rather than sorted by key, the order seen here can differ from what iterating the <a href=../materialize/ ><code>materialize()</code></a>d <code>BasicJsonType</code> value would produce: a <code class=highlight><span class=n>basic_json</span></code> object (<code>std::map</code>-backed by default) sorts its keys, while a view does not.</p> <p>An <code>ordered_json</code> value also keeps document order, but it keeps only one entry per key: as <code>parse()</code> does, it keeps the <em>last</em> value, at the position of the key's <em>first</em> occurrence. The view, in contrast, visits every member, including the duplicates.</p> <h2 id=examples>Examples<a class=headerlink href=#examples title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2> <details class=example> <summary>Example</summary> <p>The example below iterates a log record's members with <code>begin()</code>/<a href=../end/ ><code>end()</code></a> and prints them in the order they were written.

|

For an object, iteration visits **every** member, including all occurrences of a duplicate key -- unlike [`operator[]`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_view/operator%5B%5D/index.md), [`at`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_view/at/index.md), [`find`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_view/find/index.md), and [`contains`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_view/contains/index.md), which all resolve to the *first* member with a given key. See the [Notes on duplicate keys](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_view/operator%5B%5D/#notes) of `operator[]`.

Because objects are iterated in document order rather than sorted by key, the order seen here can differ from what iterating the [`materialize()`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_view/materialize/index.md)d `BasicJsonType` value would produce: a `basic_json` object (`std::map`-backed by default) sorts its keys, while a view does not.

Linear in the number of members: unlike the lookup functions, `count()` does not stop at the first match, because it has to count every member with the key. Members are compared one after another, in document order. Each comparison first checks the key's length -- already known from the index, without reading the key bytes -- before comparing its content.

If the source text repeats a key, `count()` returns more than `1` for it, even though the [materialized](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_view/materialize/index.md) value (like the result of `parse()`) would have only one member with that key. Hence `count(key) > 1` detects duplicate keys. This is unlike the lookup functions ([`operator[]`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_view/operator%5B%5D/index.md), [`at`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_view/at/index.md), [`find`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_view/find/index.md), [`contains`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_view/contains/index.md)), which resolve to the *first* member; see the [Notes on duplicate keys](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_view/operator%5B%5D/#notes) of `operator[]`.

## Complexity

Linear in the number of members: as for [`ordered_json`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/ordered_json/index.md), members are compared one after another, in document order, stopping at the first match. Each comparison first checks the key's length -- already known from the index, without reading the key bytes -- before comparing its content. Objects with 128 or more members get a hash index of their keys while parsing, so that a lookup in them takes constant time on average.

If the source text repeats a key, this resolves to the *first* member with it, not to the last one that [`materialize()`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_view/materialize/index.md) and `parse()` keep. See the [Notes on duplicate keys](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_view/operator%5B%5D/#notes) of `operator[]` and [Duplicate keys](https://json.nlohmann.me/features/json_view/#duplicate-keys) for the reasons and for how to get the last value.

Such a `from_json()` looks members up in the view, where a repeated key finds the **first** member, while `materialize().get<T>()` sees the **last** one, as [`BasicJsonType::parse()`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json/parse/index.md) keeps it: for `{"x":1,"x":2}`, `get<point>()` reads `x == 1`. See [Duplicate keys](https://json.nlohmann.me/features/json_view/#duplicate-keys).
|
||||
|
||||
Every other `T` -- user types whose `from_json()` is written for `BasicJsonType` only, types without a default constructor, `std::tuple`s holding references, ... -- is converted by `materialize().get<T>()`: the subtree is built into a real `BasicJsonType` value first (as [`BasicJsonType::parse()`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json/parse/index.md) would), and converted from there exactly as [`BasicJsonType::get<T>()`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json/get/index.md) would convert it.

Every other `T` — user types whose `from_json()` is written for `BasicJsonType` only, types without a default constructor, `std::tuple`s holding references, ... — is converted by `materialize().get<T>()`: the subtree is built into a real `BasicJsonType` value first (as [`BasicJsonType::parse()`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json/parse/index.md) would), and converted from there exactly as [`BasicJsonType::get<T>()`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json/get/index.md) would convert it.

- For the directly-converted types listed above (other than `BasicJsonType` and `basic_json_view`, which never throw): throws [`type_error.302`](https://json.nlohmann.me/home/exceptions/#jsonexceptiontype_error302) if the value's type does not match `T` -- the same exception, with the same message, that [`BasicJsonType::get<T>()`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json/get/index.md) throws for the same JSON type and `T`.

- For the directly-converted types listed above (other than `BasicJsonType` and `basic_json_view`, which never throw): throws [`type_error.302`](https://json.nlohmann.me/home/exceptions/#jsonexceptiontype_error302) if the value's type does not match `T` — the same exception, with the same message, that [`BasicJsonType::get<T>()`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json/get/index.md) throws for the same JSON type and `T`.
|
||||
- For `std::vector<U, A>`: throws `type_error.302` if the value is not an array; otherwise, whatever converting an element to `U` throws.
|
||||
- For `std::map`/`std::unordered_map` of views: throws `type_error.302` if the value is not an object.
|
||||
- For a `T` whose `from_json()` reads the view: whatever that `from_json()` throws; for the library's conversions and the macros, the same exceptions with the same messages as [`BasicJsonType::get<T>()`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json/get/index.md) of the same value.
|
||||
- For every other `T`: whatever [`materialize().get<T>()`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json/get/index.md) throws -- typically `type_error.302`, or whatever a user-provided `from_json()` throws.

- For every other `T`: whatever [`materialize().get<T>()`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json/get/index.md) throws — typically `type_error.302`, or whatever a user-provided `from_json()` throws.
|

None of the exceptions thrown directly by this function or by a `from_json()` that reads the view (the first four bullets above) carry a [`JSON_DIAGNOSTICS`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/macros/json_diagnostics/index.md) path: the view has no `BasicJsonType` value to point at. An exception thrown while converting through `materialize()` (the last bullet) is different: it is thrown by a real `BasicJsonType` value, so it **does** carry a `JSON_DIAGNOSTICS` path if `BasicJsonType` was built with it enabled. That path is relative to the root of the view's subtree, because `materialize()` builds only the subtree (with parent pointers): it is empty if the failing value is the subtree's root itself, and it never is the path within the whole document.

The example below pulls one field out of a JSON text that stands in for a large API response, and shows that no `std::string` was allocated for it: the returned view still points inside the original buffer. A field that contains an escape sequence cannot point into the original text -- it was decoded once into the document's own buffer instead -- but still avoids a per-field allocation.

Converts the value to `T` and stores it in `v`, in one of three ways:
|
||||
|
||||
- For the types that [`get<T>()`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_view/get/index.md) converts directly -- arithmetic types, `bool`, `std::nullptr_t`, [`string_view_t`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_view/#member-types), `std::basic_string`, `BasicJsonType`, `basic_json_view`, vectors of these, and maps of views -- `v` is assigned: `v = get<T>()`.

|
||||
- For a type whose `from_json()` accepts views (see [`get<T>()`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_view/get/index.md)), that `from_json()` is called with the view and the existing `v`, without building a `BasicJsonType` value.
|
||||
- For every other type, the subtree is built into a `BasicJsonType` value and `materialize().get_to(v)` is called, i.e. `from_json()` is invoked with the existing `v`, exactly as [`BasicJsonType::get_to()`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json/get_to/index.md) does.

A discarded view is also what [`operator[]`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json_view/operator%5B%5D/index.md) returns for a missing key, an index out of range, or a JSON pointer that cannot be resolved, and for any access on a view that is itself discarded (so a chain such as `v["a"]["b"]` is safe).

`materialize()` replays the subtree through the same SAX builder [`BasicJsonType::parse()`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json/parse/index.md) uses, so the result matches it exactly -- including, for an object, that a repeated key keeps only its last value. The replay is iterative, so it is not limited by the call stack the way a naive recursive conversion would be; the JSON nesting depth is limited only by available memory, as for `BasicJsonType::parse()` itself.
