Quote keys containing special characters

1. What version of RJEA are you using (react-json-editor-ajrm version)?

v2.4.4

1. What operating system and processor architecture are you using?

Mac OS

1. What did you do?

Tried to edit a JSON object whose keys have “special characters”.

1. What did you expect to see?

An properly editable object

1. What did you see instead?

In the above screenshot, when I changed the value of state to paused, the error shows up for line 4. I can temporarily fix the error by manually putting the key in quotes (i.e. '10018-00'), but then the next key that starts with a number or contains other special characters gets marked as an error.

Could you please provide a fix to this? One possible fix would be to always quote keys that will cause parsing errors if left unquoted; or to just always quote keys.

Cheers!

Hey @ellis, special key names that require to be wrapped in quotes now do. Hey @PatrickSachs, quotes in keys are now escaped.

This fixes are available in the latest version of react-json-editor-ajrm@2.4.7

Since this is probably the same issue, quotes in keys also need to be escaped:

{
  "oh i don't have any channels": {
    "desc": "That kinda explains why the channels list was empty... Mhm...",
    "lang": 0,
    "type": 0,
    "set": 0
  },
  "test standard channel": {
    "desc": "\"Testing if quoted strings are really required.\",Mhhh...",
    "lang": 0,
    "type": 0,
    "set": 1
  }
}

Creates the following output: (Syntax Error in the second line: Missing closing ' quote on key at line 2)

{
  'oh i don't have any channels': {
    desc: 'That kinda explains why the channels list was empty... Mhm...',
    lang: 0,
    type: 0,
    set: 0
  },
  'test standard channel': {
    desc: '"Testing if quoted strings are really required.",Mhhh...',
    lang: 0,
    type: 0,
    set: 0
  }
}
