# <small>nlohmann::json_pointer::</small>to_string
```cpp
string_t to_string() const;
```
Return a string representation of the JSON pointer.
## Return value
A string representation of the JSON pointer
## Exception safety
Strong exception safety: if an exception occurs, the original value stays intact.
## Complexity
Linear in the total length of the reference tokens.
## Notes
For each JSON pointer `ptr`, it holds:
```cpp
ptr == json_pointer(ptr.to_string());
```
## Examples
??? example
The example shows the result of `to_string`.
```cpp
--8<-- "examples/json_pointer__to_string.cpp"
```
Output:
```json
--8<-- "examples/json_pointer__to_string.output"
```
