Hi, all

I do some tests and found it's ok to save/load wstring into/from text_oarchive, Am I very lucky? or it's safe to do this?

All archives in the serialization library include code to serialize all "primitive" types. For purposes of this discussion, std::wstring is considered a primitive type. In general, we have strived to maintain archive classes independent to any particular data type. That is - any data type should work with any archive.

When do I need to use text_woarchive?

When you want to store using wide characters (ie unicode) rather than multi-byte characters of a specific locale.
