# JSON_NO_AUTOMATIC_UDLS
```cpp
#define JSON_NO_AUTOMATIC_UDLS
```
When defined, `<nlohmann/json.hpp>` does not include `<nlohmann/json_literals.hpp>`, so the user-defined string
literals [`operator""_json`](../operator_literal_json.md) and
[`operator""_json_pointer`](../operator_literal_json_pointer.md) are not declared. Include
`<nlohmann/json_literals.hpp>` in the files that use them.
The literals are ordinary inline functions whose bodies call the parser, so every translation unit that includes them
instantiates the parser — even if it never parses anything itself. Defining `JSON_NO_AUTOMATIC_UDLS` for a whole project
avoids this cost in translation units that do not parse (e.g., ones that only define types and conversions or pass
`json` values around) and reduces their compile time.
## Default definition
By default, `#!cpp JSON_NO_AUTOMATIC_UDLS` is not defined, and `<nlohmann/json.hpp>` includes
`<nlohmann/json_literals.hpp>`.
```cpp
#undef JSON_NO_AUTOMATIC_UDLS
```
## Notes
!!! info "Header `<nlohmann/json_literals.hpp>`"
The header includes `<nlohmann/json.hpp>` itself and places the literals according to
[`JSON_USE_GLOBAL_UDLS`](json_use_global_udls.md). It is part of the multi-header sources (`include/nlohmann`)
and of the single-header sources (`single_include/nlohmann`), next to `json.hpp`.
!!! info "C++ modules"
The `nlohmann.json` [module](../../features/modules.md) always exports the literals, regardless of this macro.
## Examples
??? example
The code below includes the library without the literals and adds them in a single translation unit.
```cpp
// compiled with -DJSON_NO_AUTOMATIC_UDLS for the whole project
#include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
// this file uses the literals, so it includes them explicitly
#include <nlohmann/json_literals.hpp>
int main()
{
auto j = R"({"foo": 42})"_json;
return j.at("/foo"_json_pointer) == 42 ? 0 : 1;
}
```
Without the include of `<nlohmann/json_literals.hpp>`, the code would fail to compile.

- Throws [`parse_error.101`](../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error101) in case of an unexpected token.
- Throws [`parse_error.101`](../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionparse_error101) in case of an unexpected token, or if
`i` has no stream buffer (`#!cpp i.rdbuf() == nullptr`, for instance `#!cpp std::istream(nullptr)`).
- If reading from `i` reaches the end of the input and `eofbit` is part of `i`'s
[`exceptions()`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/io/basic_ios/exceptions) mask, the `std::ios_base::failure`
thrown by `i` itself propagates instead of a `parse_error`, the same as it would for the standard library's own
extraction operators.
