# basic_json::emplace
```cpp
template<class... Args>
std::pair<iterator, bool> emplace(Args&& ... args);
```
Inserts a new element into a JSON object constructed in-place with the given `args` if there is no element with the key
in the container. If the function is called on a JSON null value, an empty object is created before appending the value
created from `args`.
## Template parameters
`Args`
: compatible types to create a `basic_json` object
## Parameters
`args` (in)
: arguments to forward to a constructor of `basic_json`
## Return value
a pair consisting of an iterator to the inserted element, or the already-existing element if no insertion happened, and
a `#!cpp bool` denoting whether the insertion took place.
## Exceptions
Throws [`type_error.311`](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptiontype_error311) when called on a type other than JSON
object or `#!json null`; example: `"cannot use emplace() with number"`
## Complexity
Logarithmic in the size of the container, O(log(`size()`)).
## Examples
??? example
The example shows how `emplace()` can be used to add elements to a JSON object. Note how the `#!json null` value was
silently converted to a JSON object. Further note how no value is added if there was already one value stored with
the same key.
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/emplace.cpp"
```
Output:
```json
--8<-- "examples/emplace.output"
```
## Version history
- Since version 2.0.8.
