+```cpp
+json_base_class_t& as_base_class() noexcept;

+```
+
+Returns a reference to this object as its custom base class [`json_base_class_t`](json_base_class_t.md). No copy is
+made.
+
+Since `basic_json` derives from `json_base_class_t`, a member of `basic_json` hides any member of the custom base class
+with the same name. This function makes such hidden members accessible again.
+
+## Return value
+
+reference to this object as [`json_base_class_t`](json_base_class_t.md)
+
+## Exception safety
+
+No-throw guarantee: this function never throws exceptions.
+
+## Complexity
+
+Constant.
+
+## Notes
+
+The function is equivalent to `static_cast<json_base_class_t&>(j)` (or `static_cast<const json_base_class_t&>(j)`).
+
+## Examples
+
+??? example
+
+    The example shows how to use `as_base_class` to access members of the custom base class that are hidden by members
+    of `basic_json`.

+    ```cpp
+    --8<-- "examples/as_base_class.cpp"
