# <small>nlohmann::basic_json::</small>out_of_range

```cpp
class out_of_range : public exception;
```

This exception is thrown in case a library function is called on an input parameter that exceeds the expected range, for
instance in case of array indices or nonexisting object keys.

Exceptions have ids 4xx (see [list of out-of-range errors](../../home/exceptions.md#out-of-range)).

}

class basic_json::parse_error {
