Re: Further JSON Validation Issues

Agreed. I was juts pointing out that a null name is valid in JSON and
that that appears to be what the parser is treating the omission as
meaning. But I'm darned if I can think of why that might be useful other
than in the context of an unnamed item.

Maybe so Jon,

But while I can see how a null value might possibly be used, the
requirement for a null key escapes me. To my mind that’s a bit like

having

a based variable but the pointer is null...

I'm guessing it is treating the missing name as a null. i.e. if you put

""

in front of the : it is accepted as valid.

I dropped the key out of the first key-value pair.
( e.g should have been:
"warehouse" : "KD"
not
: "KD"
)

JSLINT agrees with me that it isn't a valid JSON object.

Anyone else come across this?

Craig
