Forget about the way you are trying to implement it, to what would
{ #key->#value. 1. true }
be rendered in JSON ?
{ "key":"value", 1, true }
or
[ "key":"value", 1, true ]
Both are illegal JSON.
You didnât read what I said - with those 2 tiny changes - both of those given an exception just like STONJSON - the only difference is that I donât have to put asDictionary everywhere. Anyway - I think Iâve learned a lot from this discussion - and as Pharo is malleable I can do my little nasty subclass until I get burned and then I will probably adopt a proper Config object like Henrik mentioned ;) Just as a small additional question - when you do : ex := { #track->#pharo. #language->#smalltalk. #exercises->{ #slug->'hello'. #id->55. #topics->#('a' 'b' 'c') } asDictionary } asDictionary. Am I right in thinking that with asDictionary the order wonât be deterministic (which is valid for JSON dictionaries, but annoying for diffing config files). This is why I was doing asOrderedDictionary as I though I had seen it change on me a few times when I was generating output. Tim
