Improvement suggestion

[adorostkar]

Hi,
I would like to suggest two improvements to rapidJson

1. Support c/c++ type comment in JSON file. It would be very beneficial if one can have comments in the JSON file.
2. A generic method that gets a type argument and converts the value to that argument type. i.e.
   doc["key"]->Get < int > ();

Thank you,
Ashkan

1. is discussed in Strict/Relaxed JSON syntax #36
   I think, a solution to this will require some internal changes to allow user-defined customizations of the parser.
2. Do you suggest to have "lossy conversions" for non-matching values? What should Get<int>() return, if doc["key"].IsString() == true? Safe conversions are already supported (e.g. GetInt64() can be used, even if IsUint() == true).

Thank you,

The second point is useful in my opinion for generic coding if one wants to pass the template argument directly to parser. I could through an exception in case the types are not compatible.

I added #316 for the second point, in order to replace this issue.
