# basic_json::to_msgpack
```cpp
// (1)
static std::vector<std::uint8_t> to_msgpack(const basic_json& j);
// (2)
static void to_msgpack(const basic_json& j, detail::output_adapter<std::uint8_t> o);
static void to_msgpack(const basic_json& j, detail::output_adapter<char> o);
```
Serializes a given JSON value `j` to a byte vector using the MessagePack serialization format. MessagePack is a binary
serialization format which aims to be more compact than JSON itself, yet more efficient to parse.
1. Returns a byte vector containing the MessagePack serialization.
2. Writes the MessagePack serialization to an output adapter.
## Parameters
`j` (in)
: JSON value to serialize
`o` (in)
: output adapter to write serialization to
## Return value
1. MessagePack serialization as byte vector
2. /
## Exception safety
Strong guarantee: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes in the JSON value.
## Complexity
Linear in the size of the JSON value `j`.
## Example
??? example
The example shows the serialization of a JSON value to a byte vector in MessagePack format.
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/to_msgpack.cpp"
```
Output:
```json
--8<-- "examples/to_msgpack.output"
```
