No, I think that will just get messy (your choice). I was just wondering
if I was doing something wrong. Either way, I managed to use TJSONenum
and it worked just fine for my needs.
Indeed. If you experiment in the browser console:
var obj = {};
undefined
obj
Object { }
obj["1.2.3"] = 'ok';
"ok"
obj
Object { 1.2.3: "ok" }
obj['allez"na'] = 'ok';
"ok"
obj
Object { 1.2.3: "ok", allez"na: "ok" }
obj['not\nice']="beeeh"
"beeeh"
obj
Object { 1.2.3: "ok", allez"na: "ok", not
ice: "beeeh" }
obj['not\ nice']="beeeh"
"beeeh"
obj
Object { 1.2.3: "ok", allez"na: "ok", not
ice: "beeeh", not nice: "beeeh" }
Not so nice at all...
Michael.
