While the last part of the sentence is true in the sense that it is
really unlikely to happen (and thus we need a boost::jsonvalue), the
first is obviously completely wrong. See 
https://github.com/fargies/qjsonrpc as a counter example.

Seems i did not express myself correctly. What i wanted to say is that
i don't want to use a json type in the core part (the “business logic”)
of a program. Obviously i'll use one in any serialization adapter / rpc
part (which is the case in your example) if needed. 

Although i still hope that a solution giving the same level of
abstraction than .net core, where you expose standard types, and the
framework takes care of all the serialization / deserialization part,
is doable in pure c++ (made some experiments there back in time, was
fun but very hard to maintain and very limited in functionalities).
