+# nlohmann::basic_json::to_cbor
+
+```
+// (1)
+static std::vector<std::uint8_t> to_cbor(const basic_json& j);
+
+// (2)
+static void to_cbor(const basic_json& j, detail::output_adapter<std::uint8_t> o);
+static void to_cbor(const basic_json& j, detail::output_adapter<char> o);
+```
+
+Serializes a given JSON value `j` to a byte vector using the CBOR (Concise Binary Object Representation) serialization format. CBOR is a binary serialization format that aims to be more compact than JSON itself, yet more efficient to parse.
+
+1. Returns a byte vector containing the CBOR serialization.
+1. Writes the CBOR serialization to an output adapter.
+
+The exact mapping and its limitations are described on a [dedicated page](https://json.nlohmann.me/features/binary_formats/cbor/index.md).
+
+## Parameters
+
+`j` (in) : JSON value to serialize
+
+`o` (in) : output adapter to write serialization to
+
+## Return value
+
+1. CBOR serialization as a byte vector
+1. (none)
+
+## Exception safety
+
+Strong guarantee: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes in the JSON value.
+
+## Complexity
+
+Linear in the size of the JSON value `j`.
+
+## Examples
+
+Example
+
+The example shows the serialization of a JSON value to a byte vector in CBOR format.
+
+```
+#include <iostream>
+#include <iomanip>
+#include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
+
+using json = nlohmann::json;
+using namespace nlohmann::literals;
+
+int main()
+{
+    // create a JSON value
+    json j = R"({"compact": true, "schema": 0})"_json;
+
+    // serialize it to CBOR
+    std::vector<std::uint8_t> v = json::to_cbor(j);
+
+    // print the vector content
+    for (auto& byte : v)
+    {
+        std::cout << "0x" << std::hex << std::setw(2) << std::setfill('0') << (int)byte << " ";
+    }
+    std::cout << std::endl;
+}
+```
+
+Output:
+
+```
+0xa2 0x67 0x63 0x6f 0x6d 0x70 0x61 0x63 0x74 0xf5 0x66 0x73 0x63 0x68 0x65 0x6d 0x61 0x00
+```
