# basic_json::get_ref
```cpp
template<typename ReferenceType>
ReferenceType get_ref();
template<typename ReferenceType>
const ReferenceType get_ref() const;
```
Implicit reference access to the internally stored JSON value. No copies are made.
## Template arguments
`ReferenceType`
: reference type; must be a reference to [`array_t`](array_t.md), [`object_t`](object_t.md),
[`string_t`](string_t.md), [`boolean_t`](boolean_t.md), [`number_integer_t`](number_integer_t.md), or
[`number_unsigned_t`](number_unsigned_t.md), [`number_float_t`](number_float_t.md), or [`binary_t`](binary_t.md).
Enforced by static assertion.
## Return value
reference to the internally stored JSON value if the requested reference type fits to the JSON value; throws
[`type_error.303`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error303) otherwise
## Exception safety
Strong exception safety: if an exception occurs, the original value stays intact.
## Exceptions
Throws [`type_error.303`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error303) if the requested reference type does not
match the stored JSON value type; example: `"incompatible ReferenceType for get_ref, actual type is binary"`.
## Complexity
Constant.
## Notes
!!! warning
Writing data to the referee of the result yields an undefined state.
## Example
??? example
The example shows several calls to `get_ref()`.
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/get_ref.cpp"
```
Output:
```json
--8<-- "examples/get_ref.output"
```
## Version history
- Added in version 1.1.0.
- Extended to binary types in version 3.8.0.
