+Assume you want to create the JSON object

+```json
+{
+  "pi": 3.141,
+  "happy": true,
+  "name": "Niels",
+  "nothing": null,
+  "answer": {
+    "everything": 42

+  "list": [1, 0, 2],
+  "object": {
+    "currency": "USD",
+    "value": "42.99"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+With the JSON class, you could write:
 
 ```cpp

+// instead, you could also write (which looks very similar to the JSON above)
+JSON j2 = {

 ```
 
-Note that in all cases, the compiler derives the appropriate JSON value.
+Note that in all cases, you never need to "tell" the compiler which JSON value you want to use.
