# basic_json::clear
```cpp
void clear() noexcept;
```
Clears the content of a JSON value and resets it to the default value as if [`basic_json(value_t)`](basic_json.md) would
have been called with the current value type from [`type()`](type.md):
Value type | initial value
----------- | -------------
null | `null`
boolean | `false`
string | `""`
number | `0`
binary | An empty byte vector
object | `{}`
array | `[]`
Has the same effect as calling
```.cpp
*this = basic_json(type());
```
## Exception safety
No-throw guarantee: this function never throws exceptions.
## Complexity
Linear in the size of the JSON value.
## Notes
All iterators, pointers and references related to this container are invalidated.
## Example
??? example
The example below shows the effect of `clear()` to different
JSON types.
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/clear.cpp"
```
Output:
```json
--8<-- "examples/clear.output"
```
## Version history
- Added in version 1.0.0.
- Added support for binary types in version 3.8.0.
