The class I am using to parse JSON does not allow you to have colons in any string. For example, this would cause an error in parsing:
{
"Test:": "Just a test"
}
Any ideas on how to make this class ignore colons that are in a string? Here is the class I am using:
class JSON {
static var inst;
var text;
function JSON() {
}
static function getInstance() {
if (inst == null) {
inst = new cinqetdemi.JSON();
}

case "object" :
if (arg) {
if (arg instanceof Array) {
_local2 = 0;
while (_local2 < arg.length) {
_local4 = stringify(arg[_local2]);
if (_local1) {
_local1 = _local1 + ",";
}
_local1 = _local1 + _local4;
_local2++;
}
return (("[" + _local1) + "]");
} else if (typeof (arg.toString) != "undefined") {
for (_local2 in arg) {
_local4 = arg[_local2];
if ((typeof (_local4) != "undefined") && (typeof (_local4) != "function")) {
_local4 = stringify(_local4);
if (_local1) {
_local1 = _local1 + ",";
}
_local1 = _local1 + ((stringify(_local2) + ":") + _local4);
}
}
return (("{" + _local1) + "}");
}
}
return ("null");
case "number" :
return ((isFinite(arg) ? (String(arg)) : "null"));

_local6 = arg.length;
