Really C++ programmers should not have to delve into a library in some unknown way just to find if they can use a library, when they compile their code at some C++ level. Why are we making it hard in Boost for programmers to find out that sort of basic and useful information, rather than just document that information in some common place. Since all Boost libraries have this meta information, documenting it there would be both common and useful.
Agreed. It will be useful to at least show the minimum C++ standard version that a library targets.
Credit goes not to me but to whoever pushed forward the idea of using the meta/libraries.json file for meta-like information.
Since you will be the one implementing this feature in the website, credit will go to you too. Glen
