JSON3.jl does not comply with the JSON specification #289

Closed stensmo closed 1 month ago

stensmo commented 1 month ago

When generating types from JSON, you notice that JSON3.jl is not compliant with the JSON specification. "An object is an unorderedset of name/value pairs". The solution is to have a compliance mode where you always sort the name/value pairs, and you can have a performance mode where you don't sort them. For JSON3, you get a new type with a digit after, even if it is the same type (with different order, which is unimportant).

I don't follow/understand what you're saying here. Can you give an example of how JSON3 is not conforming to the specification please?

Did more testing, and my headline is wrong, so you can close this issue and I will open a new one. The bug is only triggered when you get output from this line: @info "struct with name $struct_name already exists, changing name to $new_struct_name".
