Property Tree is not capable of faithfully representing the data that can be stored in a JSON file.
To be more precise, a ptree or wptree is not capable of doing this. A basic_ptree instantiated with JSON-specific data and key types would be (though it would then be a superset of what JSON can do).
[...] But wouldn't it be nice to have a generic JSON parser with an iterator based interface than can pull from a JSON data source; with a utility translator that can fill an std::map(or hash_map) and std::vector with key/values and values of boost::any(or equivalent) kind; that then property_tree could use be much nicer :-) Especially since it then would be possible for Boost Serialization to also use the same parser. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail
