I had now a look at the source code: If I understand correctly it is possible to use the read/write functions (like read_xml, read_ini, read_json etc.) with other containers? So there is no tight coupling? No, it is not normally possible. read/write functions expect a recursive container, because they need tree-like structure. I made no attempt to generalize the library, so that read/write functions can work with general recursive containers (btw. the whole idea of recursive container is actually quite fuzzy).

What would it take to make the generalization? IMHO some concept of recursive container visitation/population along with an example of how your parsers can be made to work with data structures other than ptree would be a boon wrt to acceptance of the lib.
