# nlohmann::basic_json::operator==
```
// until C++20
bool operator==(const_reference lhs, const_reference rhs) noexcept; // (1)
template<typename ScalarType>
bool operator==(const_reference lhs, const ScalarType rhs) noexcept; // (2)
template<typename ScalarType>
bool operator==(ScalarType lhs, const const_reference rhs) noexcept; // (2)
// since C++20
class basic_json {
bool operator==(const_reference rhs) const noexcept; // (1)
template<typename ScalarType>

};
```
1. Compares two JSON values for equality according to the following rules:
- Two JSON values are equal if (1) neither value is discarded, and (2) they are of the same type and their stored values are the same according to their respective `operator==`.
- Integer and floating-point numbers are automatically converted before comparison.
1. Compares a JSON value and a scalar or a scalar and a JSON value for equality by converting the scalar to a JSON value and comparing both JSON values according to 1.
## 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`/`*this` and `rhs` are equal
## Exception safety
No-throw guarantee: this function never throws exceptions.
## Complexity
Linear.
## Notes
Comparing special values
- `NaN` values are unordered within the domain of numbers. The following comparisons all yield `false`:
1. Comparing a `NaN` with itself.
1. Comparing a `NaN` with another `NaN`.
1. Comparing a `NaN` and any other number.
- JSON `null` values are all equal.
- Discarded values never compare equal to themselves.
Comparing floating-point numbers
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
```
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 define your own equality function like this:
```
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
...
}
...
}
```
Comparing different `basic_json` specializations
Comparing different `basic_json` specializations can have surprising effects. For instance, the result of comparing the JSON objects
```
{
"version": 1,
"type": "integer"
}
```
and
```
{
"type": "integer",
"version": 1
}
```
depends on whether [`nlohmann::json`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/json/index.md) or [`nlohmann::ordered_json`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/ordered_json/index.md) is used:
```
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
using json = nlohmann::json;
int main()
{
nlohmann::json uj1 = {{"version", 1}, {"type", "integer"}};
nlohmann::json uj2 = {{"type", "integer"}, {"version", 1}};
nlohmann::ordered_json oj1 = {{"version", 1}, {"type", "integer"}};
nlohmann::ordered_json oj2 = {{"type", "integer"}, {"version", 1}};
std::cout << std::boolalpha << (uj1 == uj2) << '\n' << (oj1 == oj2) << std::endl;
}
```
Output:
```
true
false
```
## Examples
Example
The example demonstrates comparing several JSON types.
```
#include <iostream>
#include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
using json = nlohmann::json;
int main()
{
// create several JSON values
json array_1 = {1, 2, 3};
json array_2 = {1, 2, 4};
json object_1 = {{"A", "a"}, {"B", "b"}};
json object_2 = {{"B", "b"}, {"A", "a"}};
json number_1 = 17;
json number_2 = 17.000000000000001L;
json string_1 = "foo";
json string_2 = "bar";
// output values and comparisons
std::cout << std::boolalpha;
std::cout << array_1 << " == " << array_2 << " " << (array_1 == array_2) << '\n';
std::cout << object_1 << " == " << object_2 << " " << (object_1 == object_2) << '\n';
std::cout << number_1 << " == " << number_2 << " " << (number_1 == number_2) << '\n';
std::cout << string_1 << " == " << string_2 << " " << (string_1 == string_2) << '\n';
}
```
Output:
```
[1,2,3] == [1,2,4] false
{"A":"a","B":"b"} == {"A":"a","B":"b"} true
17 == 17.0 true
"foo" == "bar" false
```
Example
The example demonstrates comparing several JSON types against the null pointer (JSON `null`).
```
#include <iostream>
#include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
using json = nlohmann::json;
int main()
{
// create several JSON values
json array = {1, 2, 3};
json object = {{"A", "a"}, {"B", "b"}};
json number = 17;
json string = "foo";
json null;
// output values and comparisons
std::cout << std::boolalpha;
std::cout << array << " == nullptr " << (array == nullptr) << '\n';
std::cout << object << " == nullptr " << (object == nullptr) << '\n';
std::cout << number << " == nullptr " << (number == nullptr) << '\n';
std::cout << string << " == nullptr " << (string == nullptr) << '\n';
std::cout << null << " == nullptr " << (null == nullptr) << '\n';
}
```
Output:
```
[1,2,3] == nullptr false
{"A":"a","B":"b"} == nullptr false
17 == nullptr false
"foo" == nullptr false
null == nullptr true
```
