# basic_json::get_to
```cpp
template<typename ValueType>
ValueType& get_to(ValueType& v) const noexcept(
noexcept(JSONSerializer<ValueType>::from_json(
std::declval<const basic_json_t&>(), v)))
```
Explicit type conversion between the JSON value and a compatible value. The value is filled into the input parameter by
calling the `json_serializer<ValueType>` `from_json()` method.
The function is equivalent to executing
```cpp
ValueType v;
JSONSerializer<ValueType>::from_json(*this, v);
```
This overloads is chosen if:
- `ValueType` is not `basic_json`,
- `json_serializer<ValueType>` has a `from_json()` method of the form `void from_json(const basic_json&, ValueType&)`
## Template parameters
`ValueType`
: the value type to return
## Return value
the input parameter, allowing chaining calls
## Exceptions
Depends on what `json_serializer<ValueType>` `from_json()` method throws
## Example
??? example
The example below shows several conversions from JSON values to other types. There a few things to note: (1)
Floating-point numbers can be converted to integers, (2) A JSON array can be converted to a standard
`#!cpp std::vector<short>`, (3) A JSON object can be converted to C++ associative containers such as
`#cpp std::unordered_map<std::string, json>`.
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/get_to.cpp"
```
Output:
```json
--8<-- "examples/get_to.output"
```
