Correct. So, the example posted has to be corrected to either numbers or strings, but the single quotes have to go. On Tue, Sep 2, 2014 at 10:59 AM, Lonnie Olson wrote: > On Tue, Sep 2, 2014 at 9:42 AM, Skylar Walker > wrote: > > If the JSON string you posted is the exact one you are receiving

I would recommend reading http://json.org/ If the JSON string you posted is the exact one you are receiving, you will have the most trouble with the fact that it's invalid JSON. JSON requires double quotes on strings, so you would expect the following: { "timestamp": "139396594", "acct1":
