The problem with Boost.PropertyTree is that it is a DOM, so it only
carters for some use cases. For instance, if JSON is used as the
encoding for wire protocols, then you want to parse the JSON directly
into associated data structures, without having to go through an
intermediate DOM.

If you do need a DOM, then Boost.PropertyTree is just fine. It could
even leverage a (still-hypothetical) Boost.Json parser.
