Spaces improperly removed from object keys #19

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. use an object key containing a space e.g. "{ ""key with 3 spaces"": 1 }"
2. parse the json
3. key no longer has spaces

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
JSON object keys should be allowed to have spaces. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.

Here is an easy test to illustrate the problem:
1. change the parseKey() func to public
2. run the following test:
Public Sub test()
    Dim s As String, k As String
    Dim j As json
    Set j = New json
    s = """key with spaces"":{""etc..."""
    k = j.parseKey(s, 1)
    Debug.Print "value '" & k & "' should have spaces but does not"
End Sub

This is easily fixed by replacing the parseKey() line below:
            If InStr(vbCrLf & vbCr & vbLf & vbTab & " ", Char) Then
with
            If dquote Or squote Then
                parseKey = parseKey & Char
            ElseIf InStr(vbCrLf & vbCr & vbLf & vbTab & " ", Char) Then
