# nlohmann::basic_json::operator value_t
```
constexpr operator value_t() const noexcept;
```
Return the type of the JSON value as a value from the [`value_t`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json/value_t/index.md) enumeration.
## Return value
the type of the JSON value
| Value type | return value |
| ------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| `null` | `value_t::null` |
| boolean | `value_t::boolean` |
| string | `value_t::string` |
| number (integer) | `value_t::number_integer` |
| number (unsigned integer) | `value_t::number_unsigned` |
| number (floating-point) | `value_t::number_float` |
| object | `value_t::object` |
| array | `value_t::array` |
| binary | `value_t::binary` |
| discarded | `value_t::discarded` |
## Exception safety
No-throw guarantee: this member function never throws exceptions.
## Complexity
Constant.
## Examples
Example
The following code exemplifies `operator value_t()` for all JSON types.
```
#include <iostream>
#include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
using json = nlohmann::json;
int main()
{
// create JSON values
json j_null;
json j_boolean = true;
json j_number_integer = -17;
json j_number_unsigned = 42u;
json j_number_float = 23.42;
json j_object = {{"one", 1}, {"two", 2}};
json j_array = {1, 2, 4, 8, 16};
json j_string = "Hello, world";
// call operator value_t()
json::value_t t_null = j_null;
json::value_t t_boolean = j_boolean;
json::value_t t_number_integer = j_number_integer;
json::value_t t_number_unsigned = j_number_unsigned;
json::value_t t_number_float = j_number_float;
json::value_t t_object = j_object;
json::value_t t_array = j_array;
json::value_t t_string = j_string;
// print types
std::cout << std::boolalpha;
std::cout << (t_null == json::value_t::null) << '\n';
std::cout << (t_boolean == json::value_t::boolean) << '\n';
std::cout << (t_number_integer == json::value_t::number_integer) << '\n';
std::cout << (t_number_unsigned == json::value_t::number_unsigned) << '\n';
std::cout << (t_number_float == json::value_t::number_float) << '\n';
std::cout << (t_object == json::value_t::object) << '\n';
std::cout << (t_array == json::value_t::array) << '\n';
std::cout << (t_string == json::value_t::string) << '\n';
}
```
Output:
```
true
true
true
true
true
true
true
true
```
