Your second sentence should make you at least question the first one.
The problem is as I already outlined; if you want to support field
reordering, you need a JSON library like the one proposed, because you have
to parse the entire JSON into a `value` and then deserialize from the
`value`.
If you don't support field reordering, the format would basically only
interoperate with itself, which defeats the purpose of using JSON. You might
as well just use the text archive.
