# nlohmann::basic_json::from_bon8
```
// (1)
template<typename InputType>
static basic_json from_bon8(InputType&& i,
const bool strict = true,
const bool allow_exceptions = true);
// (2)
template<typename IteratorType, typename SentinelType = IteratorType>
static basic_json from_bon8(IteratorType first, SentinelType last,
const bool strict = true,
const bool allow_exceptions = true);
```
Deserializes a given input to a JSON value using the BON8 (Binary Object Notation 8) serialization format.
1. Reads from a compatible input.
1. Reads from an iterator range, or an iterator and a sentinel of a different type (C++20 ranges support).
The exact mapping and its limitations are described on a [dedicated page](https://json.nlohmann.me/features/binary_formats/bon8/index.md).
## Template parameters
`InputType` : A compatible input, for instance:
```
- an `std::istream` object
- a `FILE` pointer
- a C-style array of characters
- a pointer to a null-terminated string of single byte characters
- a container `obj` for which `begin(obj)` and `end(obj)` produce a valid pair of iterators
(as found via ADL or member functions, with semantics compatible to `std::begin` and `std::end`)
```
`IteratorType` : a compatible iterator type
`SentinelType` : defaults to `IteratorType`; may be a different type comparable to `IteratorType` via `operator!=`, for instance.
```
- a custom sentinel type for C++20 ranges
- `std::default_sentinel_t`, when `IteratorType` is `std::counted_iterator`
```
## Parameters
`i` (in) : an input in BON8 format convertible to an input adapter
`first` (in) : iterator to the start of the input
`last` (in) : iterator to the end of the input, or a sentinel value that compares equal to the end iterator with `operator!=`
`strict` (in) : whether to expect the input to be consumed until EOF (`true` by default)
`allow_exceptions` (in) : whether to throw exceptions in case of a parse error (optional, `true` by default)
## Return value
deserialized JSON value; in case of a parse error and `allow_exceptions` set to `false`, the return value will be `value_t::discarded`. The latter can be checked with [`is_discarded`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json/is_discarded/index.md).
## Exception safety
Strong guarantee: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes in the JSON value.
## Exceptions
- Throws [parse_error.110](https://json.nlohmann.me/home/exceptions/#jsonexceptionparse_error110) if the given input ends prematurely or the end of the file was not reached when `strict` was set to true
- Throws [parse_error.112](https://json.nlohmann.me/home/exceptions/#jsonexceptionparse_error112) if a parse error occurs, for instance an invalid byte, a string that is not valid UTF-8, or an object key that is not a string
## Complexity
Linear in the size of the input.
## Examples
Example
The example shows the deserialization of a byte vector in BON8 format to a JSON value.
```
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
using json = nlohmann::json;
int main()
{
// create byte vector
std::vector<std::uint8_t> v = {0x89, 0x63, 0x6f, 0x6d, 0x70, 0x61, 0x63, 0x74,
0xf9, 0x66, 0x6f, 0x72, 0x6d, 0x61, 0x74, 0xff,
0x42, 0x4f, 0x4e, 0x38, 0xff, 0x73, 0x63, 0x68,
0x65, 0x6d, 0x61, 0x90
};
// deserialize it with BON8
json j = json::from_bon8(v);
// print the deserialized JSON value
std::cout << std::setw(2) << j << std::endl;
}
```
Output:
```
{
"compact": true,
"format": "BON8",
"schema": 0
}
```
