Nice package fix quotations #82

Hi,

I wanted ot test your package on a json output. The output file uses single quotes instead of double quotes but your program only recognizes double quotes. Can you fix it please? Thanks!

Your output is wrong, the JSON standard does not allow single quotes for string values. You can read more about the JSON standard here: http://www.json.org/ There's also a number of Stackoverflow pages about this topic: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4162642/single-vs-double-quotes-in-json/34855065

Basically, if you have a file with single quotes in it, then it's not a JSON file. It's something else.

The API I use spits out single quotes for some reason even though it thinks it is json. I don't know why. Thanks.
