Your second sentence should make you at least question the first one.

The problem is as I already outlined; if you want to support field 
reordering, you need a JSON library like the one proposed, because you have 
to parse the entire JSON into a `value` and then deserialize from the 
`value`.

If you don't support field reordering, the format would basically only 
interoperate with itself, which defeats the purpose of using JSON. You might 
as well just use the text archive.
