String-keyed Map output like as Dictionary

[akhansari]

I wonder why they haven't the same output. Just curious what's the reason behind this?

Is there any possibility to have the same, Map like Dictionary?

The output should be a JSON object in both cases. The only difference is the order of the keys: Map is sorted by comparing the keys, whereas Dictionary is sorted in an arbitrary order that is based on its internal implementation.

JsonSerializer.Serialize(Map ["b", 1; "a", 2], options) // --> {"a":2,"b":1}
JsonSerializer.Serialize(dict ["b", 1; "a", 2], options) // --> {"b":1,"a":2}

Is this what you mean? Or do you have other differences?

Thanks Tarmil for the explanation.. My bad, it's only non string-keyed Map that is serialized to an array of arrays. It's perfect because we can have interoperability between other dictionary types and F# string-keyed Map.
