You lose the structure after converting and need meta
information (=information about Information).

I think you have to keep track of the type you are converting, the
structure size and the nesting depth of the structure. Maybe is
recursive behavour not the solution. Use a stack (sequence) where
you keep your information of how deep, how much and type.

If I'm wrong correct me, it's for me a test if I understand your
problem. I imagine it as a database. You can store the data but you
need information were to start and end and what kind information you
are reading. This is always put in the header of a database file.
