I am a student and am writing a proposal for Google Summer of Code based on the JSON idea<http://www.crystalclearsoftware.com/cgi-bin/boost_wiki/wiki.pl?Google_Summer_Of_Code_2008#json>. I was wondering if anyone has any addition thoughts on JSON serialization and how people feel about it in general.
there is a JSON parser (based on Boost.Spirit) and a writer in Boost.PropertyTree (see http://kaalus.atspace.com/ptree/doc/index.html#json_parser). The problem with the writer is though that all values (except numbers) are written as strings (for example you load a boolean value true but it's written as "true"). You might be able to use the code from Boost.PropertyTree though (and maybe improve the writer, too ;). Boris
