Re: [Pharo-users] STON shouldn't care about shared references in JSON mode

Hi Peter,

Both cases will pass using this expression:

String streamContents: [ :out | STON jsonWriter referencePolicy: #ignore; on: out; nextPut: d ].

The problem is what to do with cycles.

Be faithful to what JSON.stringify does in JS. See attachment. :-) Herby

Hi,

I don't think this should throw an error when I am producing JSON.

``` d := { 'a' -> #(). 'b' -> #(). } asDictionary.

STON toJsonString: d. ```

dtto this

``` a := {'hm'}.

d := { 'a' -> a. 'b' -> a. } asDictionary.

STON toJsonString: d. ```

Maybe I should forgo using STON>>toJson* out of laziness (it is preinstalled) and always go for NeoJSON?
