I want to use boost::archive::iterators::base64_from_binary. But I can't seem to figure out why it is under "archive." What does this imply? Should I be leery of using this code for any reason?
Thanks--

A:
I think that the archive refers to it's function in archiving data, not as being obsolete...

I would have thought the very same, so +1.

Oh, haha. That would make sense--hope you're right. Adding to my leeryness is the fact that documentation is scant and lacking example code on boost.

Agreed, the documentation is a little sparse.

A:
boost::archive is a namespace used in the Serialization library. In general, it's ok to use stuff in boost as long as it's not in a namespace called detail.
