# std::hash
```cpp
namespace std {
struct hash;
}
```
Return a hash value for a JSON object. The hash function tries to rely on `std::hash` where possible. Furthermore, the
type of the JSON value is taken into account to have different hash values for `#!json null`, `#!cpp 0`, `#!cpp 0U`, and
`#!cpp false`, etc.
## Examples
??? example
The example shows how to calculate hash values for different JSON values.
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/std_hash.cpp"
```
Output:
```json
--8<-- "examples/std_hash.output"
```
