This is news to those of us who have used them for years:

 
http://breese.github.io/trial/protocol/trial_protocol/json/user_guide/serialization.html
   http://cppcms.com/wikipp/en/page/cppcms_1x_serialization

both of which have been mentioned several times on this mailing-list.

Not to mentions all those who had to resort to using Boost.PropertyTree
for JSON serialization.

Or the GSOC 2013 JSON proposal...

The Boost.Spirit approach works for XML because you have effectively
created a pull parser, which is the approach I have been arguing for.
I have yet to see a push parser (which Vinnie's parser is) work for
serialization.
