[Smtk-developers] JSON in SMTK

[Bob Obara]

I definitely like the nlohmann version better - did we determine if we need to mangle it?  

So should it and pugiXML be moved into the superbuild in the near future as external projects?

Attached is my experiment with syntax and getting UUIDs and arrays of UUIDs serialized. nlohmann does not require calls to converter functions nor does it even require a converter... UUIDs just worked (however, we probably want a converter as its default behavior writes UUIDs as JSON arrays of unsigned integers).
