This is invalid (though probably unintentionally). An array
cannot have names for elements.
There can't be two comments with the same key though. -- Andrei
Why not? I believe this is valid json:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7159
«The names within an object SHOULD be unique.»
«An object whose names are all unique is interoperable in the
sense
that all software implementations receiving that object will
agree on
the name-value mappings. When the names within an object are
not
unique, the behavior of software that receives such an object
is
unpredictable. Many implementations report the last
name/value pair
only. Other implementations report an error or fail to parse
the
object, and some implementations report all of the name/value
pairs,
including duplicates.
JSON parsing libraries have been observed to differ as to
whether or
not they make the ordering of object members visible to calling
software. Implementations whose behavior does not depend on
member
ordering will be interoperable in the sense that they will not
be
affected by these differences.»
