Handling JSON with Boost
Hi all, I'm interested whether there exists a library for working with JSON in Boost that preserves data types? I know about property_tree, but if I read a valid JSON with it and then write it out it results in all fields being strings. This is because property_tree internally does not distinguish different value types. But I need something that can read e.g. {"number":42} get access to it and write it then in the same form. Thanks for answering, regards, Jauhien
I've had great success with the JSON Spirit Boost library: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/20027/JSON-Spirit-A-C-JSON-Parser-Genera... My only complaint is that it may silently fail if it hits something it doesn't understand. Adam Baxter On Mon, Nov 4, 2013 at 3:01 PM, Jauhien Piatlicki <jpiatlicki@gmail.com>wrote:

Best regards,
I used to use json_spirit, but I recently switched to libjsoncpp. It's not boost, but I like it better. Rgds Richard On Mo, 2013-11-04 at 21:01 +0100, Jauhien Piatlicki wrote:
