I'm trying to build a small utility for a project at work that stores some config on-disk as JSON. Imagine my dismay when I find that opIndexAssign hasn't been added to JSONValue until after 2.066 went out:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/2607

1. Is there any way until 2.067 gets release to build a JSON object,
   besides building it as a string?

2. I'm thoroughly confused - something like this would make it seem that
   std.json is almost never used "in the wild".
   Is there a JSON library that most other people are using instead?

http://vibed.org has a good one. -- Andrei

std.json is both very simple to use, and very feature-light. As far as I know, it was written some time ago and is not up to the current standards of Phobos. The only thing I've used it for is quick one-off projects that were very small in scope.

std.data.json is the vibe.d JSON library, usable without having to pull in all of vibe.d. It was not my intent to advertise it, but rather advertise the best way to use it.

Sadly there hasn't been progress as of late in pushing it in Phobos. -- Andrei
