# JSON_USE_IMPLICIT_CONVERSIONS
```
#define JSON_USE_IMPLICIT_CONVERSIONS /* value */
```
When defined to `0`, implicit conversions are switched off. By default, implicit conversions are switched on. The value directly affects [`operator ValueType`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json/operator_ValueType/index.md).
## Default definition
By default, implicit conversions are enabled.
```
#define JSON_USE_IMPLICIT_CONVERSIONS 1
```
## Notes
Future behavior change
Implicit conversions will be switched off by default in the next major release of the library.
You can prepare existing code by already defining `JSON_USE_IMPLICIT_CONVERSIONS` to `0` and replace any implicit conversions with calls to [`get`](https://json.nlohmann.me/api/basic_json/get/index.md).
CMake option
Implicit conversions can also be controlled with the CMake option [`JSON_ImplicitConversions`](https://json.nlohmann.me/integration/cmake/#json_implicitconversions) (`ON` by default) which defines `JSON_USE_IMPLICIT_CONVERSIONS` accordingly.
## Examples
Example
This is an example for an implicit conversion:
```
json j = "Hello, world!";
std::string s = j;
```
When `JSON_USE_IMPLICIT_CONVERSIONS` is defined to `0`, the code above does no longer compile. Instead, it must be written like this:
```
json j = "Hello, world!";
auto s = j.get<std::string>();
```
