!!! note "Comparing different `basic_json` specializations"

Comparing different `basic_json` specializations can have surprising effects. For instance, the result of comparing
the JSON objects

```json
{
"version": 1,
"type": "integer"
}
```

and

```json
{
"type": "integer",
"version": 1
}
```

depends on whether [`nlohmann::json`](../json.md) or [`nlohmann::ordered_json`](../ordered_json.md) is used:

```cpp
--8<-- "examples/operator__equal__specializations.cpp"
```
Output:
```json
--8<-- "examples/operator__equal__specializations.output"
```
