Re: [json-lib-user] How to escape curly braces in JSON

[Andres A. <aal...@ya...>]

I tested against the current dev version (2.2-SNAPSHOT) that has changed little from 2.1 and it runs fine.
May I know which version of the library are you using?

Here is the testcase I ran (besides the string you provided)

   public void testFromObjectCurliesOnString() {
      String json = "{'prop':'{value}'}";
      JSONObject jsonObject = JSONObject.fromObject( json );
      assertNotNull( jsonObject );
      assertEquals( 1, jsonObject.size() );
      assertEquals( "\"{value}\"", jsonObject.get( "prop" ) );

      json = "{'prop':'{{value}}'}";
      jsonObject = JSONObject.fromObject( json );
      assertNotNull( jsonObject );
      assertEquals( 1, jsonObject.size() );
      assertEquals( "\"{{value}}\"", jsonObject.get( "prop" ) );

      json = "{'prop':'{{{value}}}'}";
      jsonObject = JSONObject.fromObject( json );
      assertNotNull( jsonObject );
      assertEquals( 1, jsonObject.size() );
      assertEquals( "\"{{{value}}}\"", jsonObject.get( "prop" ) );
   }


Regards,
Andres

Subject: [json-lib-user] How to escape curly braces in JSON


Hi
I have a (I guess simple) question:

I have a JSONString in Java such as

String jsonString = "{ 'fields': [
    {name: 'Firstname{{}}',value: '{{{Tom}}}',attributes: [],},
    {name: 'Lastname',value: 'Meier',attributes: [],},
    {name: 'Knows',value: 'Frec',attributes: [{ name: 'Since', value: 
'2000' }],},
    {name: 'Knows',value: 'Kim',attributes: [{ name: 'Since', value: 
'2003' }],},
    {name: 'Knows',value: 'Mark',attributes: [{ name: 'Since', value: 
'2002' },
    { name: 'From', value: 'Reports' }]}
]}"

When I use JSONObject jsonForm = new JSONObject(jsonString);

I get an Exception:
   
    net.sf.json.JSONException: Expected a ':' after a key at character
 7 
of {{{Tom}}}

I dont get this. The braces are inside quotes, there should not be a 
problem, or???

please help
greetings, arash
