No.

an ijson_archive is intimately connected to the C++ data structures 
which were used to produce the archive using ojson_archive class.  The 
are symetric pair.

So given your user-defined struct T, you can produce a compatible 
archive using ojson_archive - and nothing else.  Then you can load that 
archive in to another instance of your user-defined T - but nothing else.

You user-defined T can contain any serializable type or inherit from any 
serializable type.  For better or worse, the definition "serializable 
type" embraces a large majority of all C++ built-in types, library types 
and any other user type which has a serialize function.
