+\section _intro Introduction
+
+<a HREF="http://www.json.org/">JSON (JavaScript Object Notation)</a>
+ is a lightweight data-interchange format. 
+It can represents integer, real number, string, an ordered sequence of value, and
+a collection of name/value pairs.
+
+Here is an example of JSON data:
+\verbatim
+// Configuration options
+{
+    // Default encoding for text
+    "encoding" : "UTF-8",
+    
+    // Plug-ins loaded at start-up
+    "plug-ins" : [
+        "python",
+        "c++",
+        "ruby"
+        ],
+        
+    // Tab indent size
+    indent : { length : 3, use_space = true }
+}
+\endverbatim
+

+Json::Value root;   // will contains the root value after parsing.
+Json::Reader reader;
+bool parsingSuccessful = reader.parse( config_doc, root );

+    // report to the user the failure and their locations in the document.
+    std::cout  << "Failed to parse configuration\n"
+               << reader.getFormatedErrorMessages();
+    return;
+}
+
+// Get the value of the member of root named 'encoding', return 'UTF-8' if there is no
+// such member.
+std::string encoding = root.get("encoding", "UTF-8" ).asString();
+// Get the value of the member of root named 'encoding', return a 'null' value if
+// there is no such member.
+const Json::Value plugins = root["plug-ins"];
+for ( int index = 0; index < plugins.size(); ++index )  // Iterates over the sequence elements.
+   loadPlugIn( plugins[index].asString() );
+   
+setIndentLength( root["indent"].get("length", 3).asInt() );
+setIndentUseSpace( root["indent"].get("use_space", true).asBool() );
+
+// ...
+// At application shutdown to make the new configuration document:
+// Since Json::Value has implicit constructor for all value types, it is not
+// necessary to explicitely construct the Json::Value object:
+root["encoding"] = getCurrentEncoding();
+root["indent"]["length"] = getCurrentIndentLength();
+root["indent"]["use_space"] = getCurrentIndentUseSpace();
+
+Json::StyledWriter writer;
+// Make a new JSON document for the configuration. Preserve original comments.
+std::string outputConfig = writer.write( root );
