# basic_json::from_cbor
```cpp
// (1)
template<typename InputType>
static basic_json from_cbor(InputType&& i,
const bool strict = true,
const bool allow_exceptions = true,
const cbor_tag_handler_t tag_handler = cbor_tag_handler_t::error);
// (2)
template<typename IteratorType>
static basic_json from_cbor(IteratorType first, IteratorType last,
const bool strict = true,
const bool allow_exceptions = true,
const cbor_tag_handler_t tag_handler = cbor_tag_handler_t::error);
```
Deserializes a given input to a JSON value using the CBOR (Concise Binary Object Representation) serialization format.
1. Reads from a compatible input.
2. Reads from an iterator range.
## 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
- an object `obj` for which `begin(obj)` and `end(obj)` produces a valid pair of iterators.
`IteratorType`
: a compatible iterator type
## Parameters
`i` (in)
: an input in CBOR format convertible to an input adapter
`first` (in)
: iterator to start of the input
`last` (in)
: iterator to end of the input
`strict` (in)
: whether to expect the input to be consumed until EOF (`#!cpp true` by default)
`allow_exceptions` (in)
: whether to throw exceptions in case of a parse error (optional, `#!cpp true` by default)
`tag_handler` (in)
: how to treat CBOR tags (optional, `error` by default); see [`cbor_tag_handler_t`](cbor_tag_handler_t.md) for more
information
## Return value
deserialized JSON value; in case of a parse error and `allow_exceptions` set to `#!cpp false`, the return value will be
`value_t::discarded`. The latter can be checked with [`is_discarded`](is_discarded.md).
## Exception safety
Strong guarantee: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes in the JSON value.
## Complexity
Linear in the size of the input.
## Example
??? example
The example shows the deserialization of a byte vector in CBOR format to a JSON value.
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/from_cbor.cpp"
```
Output:
```json
--8<-- "examples/from_cbor.output"
```
## Version history
- Added in version 2.0.9.
- Parameter `start_index` since version 2.1.1.
- Changed to consume input adapters, removed `start_index` parameter, and added `strict` parameter in version 3.0.0.
- Added `allow_exceptions` parameter in version 3.2.0.
- Added `tag_handler` parameter in version 3.9.0.
