This works: (update: but not as I was thinking! it actually sets b = "c, d: e")
a: [
{ b: c, d: e
}
]
and this works:
a: [
{ "b": "c", "d": "e" }
]
But this doesn't work. What about the hjson definition disallows the closing brace at the end of the line?
a: [
{ b: c, d: e }
]
Found ']' where a key name was expected
(check your syntax or use quotes if the key name
includes {}[],: or whitespace): line 3 column 1 (char 23)
In Hjson a string without quotes is terminated by the newline, so your closing brace gets eaten by the quoteless string.
When you write
{ b: c, d: e
}
you are saying, give me a string that contains "c, d: e"
.
You need to use either quotes
{ b: "c", d: "e" }
or
{
b: c
d: e
}
