[Cppcms-users] Dots in JSON Value keys

[Julian P. <ju...@wh...>]

Hallo,

as the JSON RFC does not state that dots in names are forbidden, 
cppcms::json::value should provide a way to request such named values, 
as in:
{ "dotted.key": "value" }

Currently, a json::value.find("dotted.key") would return an undefined 
JSON value, because it would look whether "dotted" has an object as 
value and this object has a name "key".

If you don't want to remove the possibility to access an sub-object via 
a dotted path, perhaps there would be a way to escape a path like in
std::string path = "dotted\\.key";
And if you mean a backslash, "dotted\\\\.key"

Thanks,
Julian
