     The example below demonstrates how to use the type `nlohmann::json`.
 
     ```cpp
-    --8<-- "examples/README.cpp"
+    #include <iostream>
+    #include <iomanip>
+    #include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
+    
+    using json = nlohmann::json;
+    
+    int main()
+    {
+        // create a JSON object
+        json j =
+        {
+            {"pi", 3.141},
+            {"happy", true},
+            {"name", "Niels"},
+            {"nothing", nullptr},
+            {
+                "answer", {
+                    {"everything", 42}
+                }
+            },
+            {"list", {1, 0, 2}},
+            {
+                "object", {
+                    {"currency", "USD"},
+                    {"value", 42.99}
+                }
+            }
+        };
+    
+        // add new values
+        j["new"]["key"]["value"] = {"another", "list"};
+    
+        // count elements
+        auto s = j.size();
+        j["size"] = s;
+    
+        // pretty print with indent of 4 spaces
+        std::cout << std::setw(4) << j << '\n';
+    }
+    
     ```
