# basic_json::is_structured
```cpp
constexpr bool is_structured() const noexcept;
```
This function returns `#!cpp true` if and only if the JSON type is structured (array or object).
## Return value
`#!cpp true` if type is structured (array or object), `#!cpp false` otherwise.
## Exception safety
No-throw guarantee: this member function never throws exceptions.
## Complexity
Constant.
## Notes
The term *structured* stems from [RFC 8259](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8259):
> JSON can represent four primitive types (strings, numbers, booleans, and null) and two structured types (objects and
> arrays).
Note that though strings are containers in C++, they are treated as primitive values in JSON.
## Example
??? example
The following code exemplifies `is_structured()` for all JSON types.
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/is_structured.cpp"
```
Output:
```json
--8<-- "examples/is_structured.output"
```
