 *  keys in JSON objects that do not contain spaces, and possibility to use '=' instead of ':'. So you can write:
 *  @code
 *    { key1="text", key2=2, "key 3"=4 }
 *  @endcode
 *  Note, however, that our input interface allows only C identifiers for keys. The reader use json_spirit library
 *  (based on Spirit parser from Boost) with slightly modified grammar.
 *
 *  The input file is at first read and parsed by json_spirit. Then ReaderToStorage pass through tree with parsed data along
 *  with passing through declaration tree. The input data are check against declaration and stored in the Storage tree.
 *
 *  Accessor to the root record is provided by ReaderToStorage::get_root_interface<T> method template.
