Re: [boost] [gsoc 2008] JSON Archives for Boost.serialization - DraftProposal published

A couple of small observations:

a..  Test cases for both json_iarchive, json_oarchive and json_om and a 
complete test case to demonstrate the functionality of all the components.

Note that these already exist.  All the tests in the library work with all 
archive types.  So any new archive class can (and should be) tested against 
all test cases.  I believe that this is described in the manual.

json_iarchive: This is the JSON input archive for Boost.serilization which 
is based on Boost.Spirit. This is similar to an input data stream and 
json_iarchive is capable of loading data from a given JSON format to the 
JSON object model.

This sentence seems to suggest that any JSON data file will be readable.  In 
fact, only those generated by the serialization library, though they will be 
in JSON format, will be readable.  This is a very common misconception on 
the part of those with ambitions to make a new archive class.  So maybe this 
sentence needs to be re-worked to clarify this.
