Likewise, when calling `template get<your_type>()` or `get_to(your_type&)`, the `from_json` method will be called. Likewise, when calling `get<your_type>()` or `get_to(your_type&)`, the `from_json` method will be called.

* In function `from_json`, use function [`at()`](../api/basic_json/at.md) to access the object values rather than `operator[]`. In case a key does not exist, `at` throws an exception that you can handle, whereas `operator[]` exhibits undefined behavior. * In function `from_json`, use function [`at()`](../api/basic_json/at.md) to access the object values rather than `operator[]`.
