I was trying to see the big picture: I rather prefer a C++ standard based on a few well-known concepts like containers, iterators, algorithms etc. instead of having a C++ standard with hundreds of components which are tailored for specific needs, collaborate with only a handful of other components and think they provide an easy-to-use interface while all the easy-to-use interfaces make the whole standard less easy-to-use. 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. For now I will definitely use your property tree library but would appreciate if existing concepts were reused many C++ developers are familiar with. My opinion is that your library should be a part of Boost but should be more generalized in the future. Boris
