# basic_json::front
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```cpp
|
||
|
|
reference front();
|
||
|
|
const_reference front() const;
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Returns a reference to the first element in the container. For a JSON container `#!cpp c`, the expression
|
||
|
|
`#!cpp c.front()` is equivalent to `#!cpp *c.begin()`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Return value
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In case of a structured type (array or object), a reference to the first element is returned. In case of number, string,
|
||
|
|
boolean, or binary values, a reference to the value is returned.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Exceptions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the JSON value is `#!json null`, exception
|
||
|
|
[`invalid_iterator.214`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptioninvalid_iterator214) is thrown.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Exception safety
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Strong guarantee: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes in the JSON value.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Complexity
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Constant.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Note
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
!!! danger
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Calling `front` on an empty array or object is undefined behavior and is **guarded by an assertion**!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Example
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
??? example
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following code shows an example for `front()`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```cpp
|
||
|
|
--8<-- "examples/front.cpp"
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Output:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```json
|
||
|
|
--8<-- "examples/front.output"
|
||
|
|
```
