Yeah exactly. The equivalent would be to have a JSON parser in C++ which turns a JSON file/object into a C++ object that is accessed in similar ways to other typical C++ objects. So: {"key": value"} becomes json->key = "value" rather than json["key"]. In this library I feel as if they've used operator overloading to emulate the way JSON is used in other languages, rather than making the JSON feel like a first class C++ citizen so to speak.

I think as far as other languages are concerned, the best JSON handling gives youn Serde in Rust and F#, from what I read. If only C++ metaprogramming was easier without crazy complexity, Json library would be made to be much smaller and more efficient with less work.
