Subject: [cl-json-devel] Escaping of symbols in hash tables
Message-ID: <F4538CC8-AE62-40D4-92EE-9B0B9D676319@tellme.com>

Hi,
   Is this intentional? (This tested against a brand-new checkout  
from the darcs repo.)

----
* (in-package :json)

#<PACKAGE "JSON">
* (encode-json-to-string 'x)

"\"X\""
* (make-hash-table)

#<HASH-TABLE :TEST EQL :COUNT 0 {40148169}>
* (setf (gethash 'x *) 5)

5
* (encode-json-to-string **)

"{\"\"X\"\":5}"
----

   Dump this out to a stream, and you get

{""X"":5}

   which isn't so useful.

   I suspect it's because the symbol is encoded to "X", and then  
wrapped in quotes anyway.

   I thought I'd mail the list before attempting to fix and submit a  
patch.

   Opinions?

-R

Yeah it is a bug. Or rather was, I just updated the darcs repository.

Thanks!
