Dear Apache velocity Team,
I hope this email finds you well.
I have identified a regression bug in the Velocity library that affects the
handling of if conditions within JSON documents when curly braces ({}) are
present. This issue is identified in version 2.3 and present in later
versions as well, but was working as expected in version 1.7.
To help reproduce the issue, I have provided a sample project along with
the stack trace in the following
*Git repository:* link
<https://github.com/muskaan62/velocityTest/blob/main/src/main/java/org/example/VelocityExample.java>
*Stacktrace:*
*=============*
*Exception in thread "main"

*========================================*
I kindly request your assistance in addressing this issue. If there are any
potential workarounds or a timeline for a fix, please let me know. Your
guidance on resolving this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and support.
Best regards,
Muskaan
