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

[Thomas W. <tho...@du...>]

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.
