get_json_object escape characters

[Sean McNamara]

Is it possible to escape '.' in get_json_object?

For example:  {"a.b": "test"}

get_json_object(json, '$.a.b')  will return NULL because it's looking for a 
nested object.


Something like this would be nice:  get_json_object(json, '$.a\\.b')


Beyond changing how the json object is keyed, anything I can do that I'm 
missing?

Thanks
