Descrizione

To use json files in a context where human readability makes sense, order of the fields insertion can make sense. As jsoncpp is sorting them alphabetically, it becomes hard to read the file and find related fields in ddifferent ends of the object. For example Json::Value root; root["name"] = "Test;" root["host"] = "127.0.0.1"; root["port"] = 80;

would be nice to have printed as

{ "name" : "Test, "host" : "127.0.0.1", "port" : 80 }

and not as

{ "host" : "127.0.0.1", "name" : "Test, "port" : 80 }

I actually succeeded to have this feature by replacing a container used by Json::Value with a custom one.
