how to build a JSON like this:
{
"aNumber": 0.123,
"aNumberAsString": "0.123",
"aString": "this is a String",
"a key with spaces": "please take care on setting: dom setNameCheck 0",
"aArray": ["a","b","c"],
"aObject": {
"foo":"that",
"bar":"grill"
},
"aObjectArray": [
{
"foo": "objArray_01_foo",
"bar": "objArray_01_bar",
"array": ["five_01_a", "five_01_b", "five_01_c"]
},
{
"foo": "objArray_02_foo",
"bar": "objArray_02_bar",
"array": ["five_02_a", "five_02_b", "five_02_c"]
}
]
}.. this is the script doing this:
