# <small>nlohmann::basic_json::</small>crend
```cpp
const_reverse_iterator crend() const noexcept;
```
Returns an iterator to the reverse-end; that is, one before the first element. This element acts as a placeholder,
attempting to access it results in undefined behavior.

## Return value
reverse iterator to the element following the last element
## Exception safety
No-throw guarantee: this member function never throws exceptions.
## Complexity
Constant.
## Examples
??? example
The following code shows an example for `crend()`.
```cpp
#include <iostream>
#include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
using json = nlohmann::json;
int main()
{
// create an array value
json array = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
// get an iterator to the reverse-end
json::const_reverse_iterator it = array.crend();
// increment the iterator to point to the first element
--it;
// serialize the element that the iterator points to
std::cout << *it << '\n';
}
```
Output:
```json
1
```
