# basic_json::operator==
```cpp
bool operator==(const_reference lhs, const_reference rhs) noexcept;
template<typename ScalarType>
bool operator==(const_reference lhs, const ScalarType rhs) noexcept;
template<typename ScalarType>
bool operator==(ScalarType lhs, const const_reference rhs) noexcept;
```
Compares two JSON values for equality according to the following rules:
- Two JSON values are equal if (1) they are from the same type and (2)
their stored values are the same according to their respective
`operator==`.
- Integer and floating-point numbers are automatically converted before
comparison. Note that two NaN values are always treated as unequal.
- Two JSON null values are equal.
## 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` and `rhs` are equal
## Exception safety
No-throw guarantee: this function never throws exceptions.
## Complexity
Linear.
## Notes
- Floating-point 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
```cpp
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 self-defined operator equal function like this:
```cpp
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
...
}
...
}
```
- NaN values never compare equal to themselves or to other NaN values.
## Example
The example demonstrates comparing several JSON
types.
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/operator__equal.cpp"
```
Output:
```json
--8<-- "examples/operator__equal.output"
```
