Thanks

What about the alphabetical order thing? Any idea of how to handle it?

One big problem I have noticed. JSONCPP changes the order alphabetically in JSON format. I have looked into how prevent this alphabetical order but so far no luck. Not great but alternative solution might be adding index sort of number to the each element.
