 ### Implicit conversions
 
-The type of the JSON object is determined automatically by the expression to store. Likewise, the stored value is implicitly converted.
+Supported types can be implicitly converted to JSON values.
+
+It is recommended to **NOT USE** implicit conversions **FROM** a JSON value.
+You can find more details about this recommendation [here](https://www.github.com/nlohmann/issues/958). 
 
 ```cpp
 // strings
 std::string s1 = "Hello, world!";
 json js = s1;
-std::string s2 = js;
+auto s2 = js.get<std::string>();
+// NOT RECOMMENDED
+std::string s3 = js;
+std::string s4;
+s4 = js;
 
 // Booleans
 bool b1 = true;
 json jb = b1;
-bool b2 = jb;
+auto b2 = jb.get<bool>();

 Some important things:
 
 * Those methods **MUST** be in your type's namespace (which can be the global namespace), or the library will not be able to locate them (in this example, they are in namespace `ns`, where `person` is defined).
-* Those methods **MUST** be available (e.g., properly headers must be included) everywhere you use the implicit conversions. Look at [issue 1108](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/1108) for errors that may occur otherwise.

 * When using `get<your_type>()`, `your_type` **MUST** be [DefaultConstructible](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/DefaultConstructible). (There is a way to bypass this requirement described later.)
 * In function `from_json`, use function [`at()`](https://nlohmann.github.io/json/classnlohmann_1_1basic__json_a93403e803947b86f4da2d1fb3345cf2c.html#a93403e803947b86f4da2d1fb3345cf2c) to access the object values rather than `operator[]`. In case a key does not exist, `at` throws an exception that you can handle, whereas `operator[]` exhibits undefined behavior.
-* In case your type contains several `operator=` definitions, code like `your_variable = your_json;` [may not compile](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/667). You need to write `your_variable = your_json.get<decltype(your_variable)>();` or `your_json.get_to(your_variable);` instead.
 * You do not need to add serializers or deserializers for STL types like `std::vector`: the library already implements these.
