# basic_json::contains
```cpp
template<typename KeyT>
bool contains(KeyT && key) const;
```
Check whether an element exists in a JSON object with key equivalent to `key`. If the element is not found or the JSON
value is not an object, `#!cpp false` is returned.
## Template parameters
`KeyT`
: A type for an object key other than `basic_json::json_pointer`.
## Parameters
`key` (in)
: key value to check its existence.
## Return value
`#!cpp true` if an element with specified `key` exists. If no such element with such key is found or the JSON value is
not an object, `#!cpp false` is returned.
## Exception safety
Strong exception safety: if an exception occurs, the original value stays intact.
## Complexity
Logarithmic in the size of the JSON object.
## Notes
This method always returns `#!cpp false` when executed on a JSON type that is not an object.
## Example
??? example
The example shows how `contains()` is used.
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/contains.cpp"
```
Output:
```json
--8<-- "examples/contains.output"
```
