I'm using json_spirit from http://www.codeproject.com/KB/recipes/JSON_Spirit.aspx for parsing big but simple json files. So far I didn't have any problems with it.

One objection I have with json_spirit is that its value is rather heavy memory wise, and also forces initializing all of the members. Maybe that's no longer true, I got the code below in Mar09. I think something boost::variant-based would be more suitable (incorrectly mentioned using tuple in my first post, when I meant variant). --DD

namespace json_spirit {    enum Value_type { ... };    typedef std::vector< Pair > Object;    typedef std::vector< Value > Array;

   class Value { ...    private:        Value_type type_;        std::string str_;        Object obj_;        Array array_;        bool bool_;        int i_;        double d_;    }; }

It has a few other issues as well. I think I commented on that article a while back actually about many of the issues... Mine has no such problems, yes I use Boost.Variant. :)
