How to dump json with single quote.

[kapilpipaliya]

Thank you so much for the great library.

I want to dump json with single quote like "{id: 1, data: 'foo'}" and no quotes around attributes. for example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20841571/how-to-solve-the-dilemma-while-handle-json-in-neo4j-cypher

can you please explain how to do it?

You'd have to modify include/jsonencoder.hpp to achieve that, making changes in two classes: basic_json_encoder and basic_compact_json_encoder.

In the visit_key function, remove the two occurrences of sink_.push_back('\"');

And in the visit_string function, change the two occurrences of sink_.push_back('\"') to sink_.push_back('\'')

when a string has ' how to replace it with \' ?

[danielaparker]

In json_encoder.hpp, in escape_string, add

case '\'':
    sink.push_back('\\');
    sink.push_back('\'');
    count += 2;
    break;
