Is there any way to build it without "boost"?

[jinyunshaobing]

I want to build it without "boost", can it be achieved?

If it can not be achieved, how can I just install necessary part of "boost"?

I'm using ubuntu20.04, and I installed libboost-all-dev. I'm trying to uninstall it and just install the necessary part of it.

in short, no you can't, it depends boost::optional and boost::any

how about upgrade c++ to 17?

There's already an existing PR, but it seems there are still some issues that need to be addressed.
#284

I believe upgrading the project to C++17 and completely removing the dependency on Boost would be a beneficial choice.

If @mfontanini considers this worthwhile, I'd be happy to take on this task.
