The sequence of elements in a serialization archive is determined by the 
C++ data structures definition. So the sequence of elements in the input 
archive is pre-determined.

serialization does not load any arbitrary data into a specified data 
structure.  That would be impossible.  It loads data formated by the 
output archive class with code from a compatible input archive class.

This is why JSON parser optimized for serialization would never be a 
good choice for an arbitrary JSON parser.  And a general purpose JSON 
parser would not be compatible with the serialization library.
