+# JSON_USE_OBJECTS_FOR_ENUM_KEYED_MAPS
+
+```cpp
+#define JSON_USE_OBJECTS_FOR_ENUM_KEYED_MAPS /* value */
+```
+
+When defined to `1`, maps whose keys are enums (such as `std::map<E, T>` or `std::unordered_map<E, T>`) are stored as
+JSON objects, using the enum's own conversion for the keys. By default, they are stored as arrays of `[key, value]`
+pairs.
+
+## Default definition
+
+The default value is `0` (disabled — existing behavior is preserved).
+
+```cpp
+#define JSON_USE_OBJECTS_FOR_ENUM_KEYED_MAPS 0
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+!!! note "Background"
+
+    JSON object keys are strings, so a map is only stored as an object if its keys can be converted to a string type.
+    Enums are not, even if [`NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM`](nlohmann_json_serialize_enum.md) maps them to strings, so a
+    map with enum keys becomes an array of `[key, value]` pairs:
+
+    ```json
+    [["stopped", "aa"], ["completed", "bb"]]
+    ```
+
+    With this macro, the same map becomes an object
+    (see [#4378](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/4378)):
+
+    ```json
+    {"completed": "bb", "stopped": "aa"}
+    ```
+
+!!! note "Maps with non-unique keys"
+
+    Maps that allow duplicate keys, such as `std::multimap<E, T>` or `std::unordered_multimap<E, T>`, are not affected
+    by the macro and are still stored as arrays of `[key, value]` pairs, as an object cannot hold duplicate keys.
+
+!!! note "Reading"
+
+    Reading is not affected by the macro: a map with enum keys can always be read from both an array of pairs and an
+    object. For the latter, each key is converted to the enum with its `from_json` function, e.g., the one defined by
+    [`NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM`](nlohmann_json_serialize_enum.md). Data written without the macro can therefore
+    still be read after enabling it.
+
+!!! warning "Keys must serialize to distinct strings"
+
+    Each key is converted with the enum's `to_json` function. If a key is not converted to a string (for instance, an
+    enum without [`NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM`](nlohmann_json_serialize_enum.md), which is stored as an integer, or an
+    enumerator mapped to `nullptr`), [`type_error.302`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error302) is thrown.
+    If two keys are converted to the same string (for instance, because
+    [`NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM`](nlohmann_json_serialize_enum.md) maps an unlisted enumerator to the first entry),
+    [`type_error.318`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error318) is thrown. In both cases, the target value
+    is not changed.
+
+!!! warning "Opt-in only"
+
+    This macro must be defined **before** including `<nlohmann/json.hpp>`. Defining it after the include has no effect.
+
+!!! note "ABI compatibility"
+
+    The value of this macro is encoded in the [namespace](../../features/namespace.md) (tag `_ekmo`), resulting in
+    distinct symbol names. Translation units compiled with and without it can therefore be linked into the same program
+    without One Definition Rule (ODR) violations, but they cannot exchange instances of library types.
+
+## Examples
+
+??? example "Default behavior (macro not defined)"
+
+    Without the macro, a map with enum keys is stored as an array of pairs:
+
+    ```cpp
+    #include <map>
+    #include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
+
+    using json = nlohmann::json;
+
+    enum TaskState { TS_STOPPED, TS_RUNNING, TS_COMPLETED };
+
+    NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM(TaskState, {
+        {TS_STOPPED, "stopped"},
+        {TS_RUNNING, "running"},
+        {TS_COMPLETED, "completed"},
+    })
+
+    int main()
+    {
+        std::map<TaskState, std::string> m = {{TS_STOPPED, "aa"}, {TS_COMPLETED, "bb"}};
+
+        json j = m;
+        // j is [["stopped","aa"],["completed","bb"]]
+    }
+    ```
+
+??? example "Objects for enum-keyed maps (macro defined to 1)"
+
+    With the macro, the same map is stored as an object:
+
+    ```cpp
+    #define JSON_USE_OBJECTS_FOR_ENUM_KEYED_MAPS 1
+    #include <map>
+    #include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
+
+    using json = nlohmann::json;
+
+    enum TaskState { TS_STOPPED, TS_RUNNING, TS_COMPLETED };
+
+    NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM(TaskState, {
+        {TS_STOPPED, "stopped"},
+        {TS_RUNNING, "running"},
+        {TS_COMPLETED, "completed"},
+    })
+
+    int main()
+    {
+        std::map<TaskState, std::string> m = {{TS_STOPPED, "aa"}, {TS_COMPLETED, "bb"}};
+
+        json j = m;
