If the user deserializes the input into a std::map then the data will become ordered. The user can deserialize into another container if they wish to retain the unordered nature of the data.

So if I want to go from a JSON archive to my user-defined struct T, using Boost.Serialization, then the path is from JSON to a map/unordered_map, and then to T?

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. Robert Ramey
