# <small>nlohmann::basic_json::</small>array
```cpp
static basic_json array(initializer_list_t init = {});
```
Creates a JSON array value from a given initializer list. That is, given a list of values `a, b, c`, creates the JSON
value `#!json [a, b, c]`. If the initializer list is empty, the empty array `#!json []` is created.
## Parameters
`init` (in)
: initializer list with JSON values to create an array from (optional)
## Return value
JSON array value
## Exception safety
Strong guarantee: if an exception is thrown, there are no changes in the JSON value.
## Complexity
Linear in the size of `init`.
## Notes
This function is only needed to express two edge cases that cannot be realized with the initializer list constructor
([`basic_json(initializer_list_t, bool, value_t)`](basic_json.md)). These cases are:
1. creating an array whose elements are all pairs whose first element is a string -- in this case, the initializer list
constructor would create an object, taking the first elements as keys
2. creating an empty array -- passing the empty initializer list to the initializer list constructor yields an empty
object
## Examples
??? example
The following code shows an example for the `array` function.
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/array.cpp"
```
Output:
```json
--8<-- "examples/array.output"
```
