Re: [boost] Do really property_tree and program_options overlap?

That said I have used your property tree library myself to read and write a configuration file. It was indeed very easy to use. However it would have been even easier if it was something I had known before like eg. an iterator.

It has iterators. Its interface is as close to std container as possible. It actually (almost) is a standard container - I think the only thing it misses at the moment is max_size() (correct me if I'm wrong). You have find, insert, push_back, the lot. You can use BOOST_FOREACH on it. You can use algorithms on it (just keep in mind it is not sorted by key unless you do that explicitly). Best regards, Marcin
