# <small>nlohmann::json_pointer::</small>back
```cpp
const string_t& back() const;
```
Return the last reference token.
## Return value
Last reference token.
## Exception safety
Strong exception safety: if an exception occurs, the original value stays intact.
## Exceptions
Throws [out_of_range.405](../../home/exceptions.md#jsonexceptionout_of_range405) if the JSON pointer has no parent.
## Complexity
Constant.
## Examples
??? example
The example shows the usage of `back`.
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/json_pointer__back.cpp"
```
Output:
```json
--8<-- "examples/json_pointer__back.output"
```
