Argument `--parameter-values` gives JSON parse error

Running with the option --parameter-values as documented does not work, but gives a JSON parse exception:

PS C:\my-dir> npx angular-prerender --parameter-values '{":name":["amelia","oliver"]}'

Unexpected token : in JSON at position 1

I tried other ways but did not yet succeed, except with an empty map: PS C:\my-dir> npx angular-prerender --parameter-values '{}'

I just found out what is a solution here: enclose the value in double quotes like this:

npx angular-prerender --parameter-values '\"{\\\":name\\\":[\\\"am e l i a\\\",\\\"o l i v e r\\\"]}\"'

Wow, I’m glad you found a solution. I added a small paragraph to the readme to mention that escaping might be an issue.
