I am working on a streaming JSON parser [1] (documentation is still
missing though.) One of the examples [2] is a reimplementation of
property_tree::read_json(). It currently parses the entire content,
but only because it mimics the original behavior. It could be rewritten
to build the property_tree incrementally.
