 Introduction
 ------------
 JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. It can represent integer, real number, string, an ordered sequence of value, and a collection of name/value pairs.
+
 Here is an example of JSON data:
-```json
+```js
+{
+    "encoding" : "UTF-8",
+    "plug-ins" : [
+        "python",
+        "c++",
+        "ruby"
+        ],
+    "indent" : { "length" : 3, "use_space": true }
+}
+```
+And here it is with ***comments***:
+```js
 // Configuration options
 {
     // Default encoding for text

 Code example
 ------------
-You must open the file in an `std::ifstream` before you can use it:
-
 ```cpp
-#include <fstream>
+#include <json/value.h>
 
-std::ifstream config_doc("config_doc.json", std::ifstream::binary);
-```
-
-Once that is done you can then use jsoncpp to parse the data:
-```cpp
 Json::Value root;   // starts as "null"; will contain the root value after parsing
-config_doc >> root;
+std::cin >> root;
 
 // Get the value of the member of root named 'encoding', return 'UTF-8' if there is no
 // such member.

+You can also read from a file, e.g.:
