[json-lib-user] Incompatibilities in encoding JSON objects

From: Thomas W. <tho...@du...> - 2009-01-10 19:50:47

Hi Chaps,I have noticed a difference in the encoding of JSON objects when
the key I am encoding looks like a Javascript function. If I try the
following:


final JSONObject obj = new JSONObject();
obj.accumulate("key","value");
System.out.println(obj.toString());

It outputs:

{"key" : "value"}

If however I try this instead:

final JSONObject obj = new JSONObject();
obj.accumulate("key","function(value){}");
System.out.println(obj.toString());

It outputs:

{"key" : function(value){}}

Note the lack of quote marks around the value. Is there any way I can force
it to add quote marks around that value?

regards,
Tom

Thanks Morgan,I did try this, and it does force json-lib to put quotes
around the value, however it then also adds the quotes that I've put in
manually! So you end up with:

{ "key" : "\"function(value){}\"" }

Morgan,I'm having a play around with couch DB which has a JSON interface,
and for some reason the interface to some of the functions require you to
send the functions enclosed in quote marks, I guess the erlang JSON
libraries must be a little stricter in their definition of what is JSON
(there isn't a 'function' keyword in strict JSON is there?) Anyway, I think
I can find find a way around this another way, but thanks for your insights.
