Strings s/b surrounded by double quotes #23

According to the JSON standard, https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7159#section-7, keys and values should be surrounded by " instead of the ' which is being output in this API. The examples in the README show both being used, but I'm only seeing the single quote. Can that be changed?

Hi @w8HAQRHkTx7r ,

Quite curious.

From what I've tried, all endpoin keys are covered with "".

Regarding the values, some are of type string and others are of type number.

I must understand that yes, the object is correctly built and follows the standards of a JSON.

If you want, you can provide me the output of the endpoint URL or the function if you are using the library.

How curious! After additional testing on other platforms, it now appears that the json parser I use in Python on Raspberry Pi is the culprit.
