to be escaped

                 Key: TAPESTRY-2211
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAPESTRY-2211
             Project: Tapestry
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: tapestry-core
    Affects Versions: 5.0.10
            Reporter: Howard M. Lewis Ship
            Priority: Minor


When JSON output is sent to the client, it escapes each double quote with a 
backslash character.

Most of the Tapestry code and typical markup uses double quotes, so there's a 
lot of characters to escape, which not only increases the size of the output, 
but makes it less readable.

Example:

{"script":"Tapestry.initializeZones([], 
[[\"form:11866b5b0ae\",\"output\"],[\"clear:11866b5b0ae\",\"output
\"]]);Tapestry.registerValidation({\"password:11866b5b0ae\":[[\"required\",\"You
 must provide a value
 for Password.\"],[\"minlength\",\"You must provide at least 6 characters for 
Password.\",6]],\"birthYear
:11866b5b0ae\":[[\"required\",\"You must provide a value for Birth 
Year.\"],[\"min\",\"Birth Year requires
 a value of at least 1900. \",1900],[\"max\",\"Birth Year requires a value no 
larger than 2007.\",2007
]],\"firstName:11866b5b0ae\":[[\"required\",\"You must provide a value for 
First Name.\"],[\"minlength
\",\"You must provide at least 3 characters for First 
Name.\",3]],\"lastName:11866b5b0ae\":[[\"required

Using single quotes around JSON Object keys and values would make this a lot 
more readable, as only the occasional single quote would need to be backslash 
escaped.

Hm.  The official JSON spec (http://www.json.org/) seems to indicate that 
strings must be quoted with double quotes.
