JSON Data using Boost

Is it possible to read the following data below using boost?

{
  "ok": true,
  "result": [
    {
      "update_id": 1235285,
      "message": {
        "message_id": 2,
        "from": {
          "id": 3325446,
          "is_bot": false,
          "first_name": "Test",
          "language_code": "en-PH"
        },
        "chat": {
          "id": 12532541,
          "first_name": "Test Account",
          "type": "private"
        },
        "date": 152014521,
        "text": "Test Message"
      }
    }
  ]
}

You could see the linked post in comment,

To summarize you can have like following to read from a file say mfile.json :

    boost::property_tree::ptree pt;
    boost::property_tree::read_json("myfile.json", pt);

    print_contents( pt );

where print_contents is:

void print_contents( const boost::property_tree::ptree& pt)
{
    using boost::property_tree::ptree;

    for (const auto& x: pt )
    {
        std::cout << x.first << ": " << x.second.get_value<std::string>() << std::endl;
        print_contents(x.second);
    }
}

See Here

I could have closed it as duplicate, but looks like there was no "better" post for reading a json file
