How can I make the recursive variant serializable? #169

Thank you for the library, I just want some advice which is the best way to serialize it to the string and restore the variant from the string , thank you very much!

@iomeone - the best way is subjective here and depends on your actual types. I'd start by looking how boost::variant implements serialisation for recursive types. If you're OK with a plain text then JSON or YAML might be a good solution. HTH

I see, and I will recursively tranverse the datatype, and translate it to plain text, thanks anyway!
