there is a JSON parser (based on Boost.Spirit) and a writer in  
Boost.PropertyTree (see  
http://kaalus.atspace.com/ptree/doc/index.html#json_parser). The problem  
with the writer is though that all values (except numbers) are written as  
strings (for example you load a boolean value true but it's written as  
"true"). You might be able to use the code from Boost.PropertyTree though  
(and maybe improve the writer, too ;).
