Hi - I’ve hit some Json where the outputted values (they are field names) are written out in a specific order - and the author hasn’t chosen to use an array to represent those fields in a specific order.

{ ‘field1’ : { ….}, ‘field2’: { … } }

I think this is technically incorrect and should be:

{ [ {‘field1’ : { ….}, ‘field2’: { … } ]}

Anyway - given what I’ve got, would it be a terrible idea to create my own version NeoJsonObject and just make it a subclass of OrderedDictionary?

I can’t see any issues - but then I might be kidding myself…

Yea, I think you could try making a NeoJSONOrderedObject as a subclass of OrderedDictionary, modelled after NeoJSONObject. Just remember it is implemented using DNU, which will surprise you at one point.

Wouldn‘t be setting #mapClass: on the reader to OrderedDictionary not enough? Dictionary is the default anyway. Norbert
