-# 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.
