# JSON_SKIP_LIBRARY_VERSION_CHECK

```cpp
#define JSON_SKIP_LIBRARY_VERSION_CHECK
```

When defined, the library will not create a compiler warning when a different version of the library was already
included.

## Default definition

By default, the macro is not defined.

```cpp
#undef JSON_SKIP_LIBRARY_VERSION_CHECK
```

## Notes

!!! danger "ABI compatibility"

    Mixing different library versions in the same code can be a problem as the different versions may not be ABI
    compatible.

## Examples

??? example "Example: switch off the version check"

    The code below switches off the warning about including a different version of the library.

    ```cpp
    #define JSON_SKIP_LIBRARY_VERSION_CHECK 1
    #include <nlohmann/json.hpp>

    ...
    ```

??? example "Example: warning about a different library version"

    The following warning will be shown in case a different version of the library was already included:

    ```
    Already included a different version of the library!
    ```
