It's also possible to serialize to XML via libraries such as LMX ( http://www.codalogic.com/lmx/lmx-c++-xml-data-binding-features.php), so JSON isn't the only option for serialization libraries you can reuse rather than write. And those libraries should have already handled byte ordering and other platform-dependent things for you, so that's another advantage for using one.
