# basic_json::to_ubjson
```cpp
// (1)
static std::vector<std::uint8_t> to_ubjson(const basic_json& j,
const bool use_size = false,
const bool use_type = false);
// (2)
static void to_ubjson(const basic_json& j, detail::output_adapter<std::uint8_t> o,
const bool use_size = false, const bool use_type = false);
static void to_ubjson(const basic_json& j, detail::output_adapter<char> o,
const bool use_size = false, const bool use_type = false);
```
Serializes a given JSON value `j` to a byte vector using the UBJSON (Universal Binary JSON) serialization format. UBJSON
aims to be more compact than JSON itself, yet more efficient to parse.
1. Returns a byte vector containing the UBJSON serialization.
2. Writes the UBJSON serialization to an output adapter.
## Parameters
`j` (in)
: JSON value to serialize
`o` (in)
: output adapter to write serialization to
`use_size` (in)
: whether to add size annotations to container types; optional, `#!cpp false` by default.
`use_type` (in)
: whether to add type annotations to container types (must be combined with `#!cpp use_size = true`); optional,
`#!cpp false` by default.
## Return value
1. UBJSON 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 UBJSON format.
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/to_ubjson.cpp"
```
Output:
```json
--8<-- "examples/to_ubjson.output"
```
