In which case you may want to look at trial::dynamic::variable [1] which
is a general-purpose container that supports fundamental types, strings,
and nested containers and map of nested containers. Unlike a variant,
the dynamic variable does not support custom types, but it means that
it works with most standard algorithms.

dynamic::variable is independent on JSON, but can be used as the parse
tree for JSON and its binary cousins. It can also be used for other
purposes such as configuration data.
