    {"account-number": "1234"} Seriously? A dash? I know some languages support that (I think Ruby? X| ) but really, can we get with modern and more standard keys that are easily serializable from the object? Now I'll have to code attributes for the key names. :mad:

      Well, at least it's not a space.

        Using a hex-editor one could add "08" right after the space, and most programs would not show it nor the space :D

          i ran into the same problem with XML and at one point had developed a complex naming and case transformation system that could split on camel, title, even CAPS_UNDERSCORE casing and transform to any of those, and it handled embedded "-"s by using XML serialization attributes It seems like a lot of work, and it is, but something like that, if you're doing a lot of serialization like this, might become inevitable. I'm not sure how it would all translate to JSON either - i guess that depends on what your JSON serialization code/lib looks like.

          When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

            account-number is JavaScript friendly like accountNumber. Account_Number is SQL friendly (for example). It does not bother me too much this types of key naming convention...

              Why hasn't camelCase or PascalCase simply taken over the world by now? What is wrong with people? Why would some dev who types with two fingers want to reach up there for a dash anyways? What is wrong with people? :laugh:

                  T-SQL accepts [account number] , but that doesn't make it right.

                    I hope you are serious. And I hope you are saying that because you are a staunch supporter of PascalCase. If you are one of those Hungarian Notation people, we will have to remove your dev card. :laugh: Back in the day Hungarian would fly, but now, we kick you off of CP for that. :laugh:

                      If it's "only" a convention why follow it? Is an underscore unacceptable?

                        Hungarian (ptui) is the worst form of camelCase.

                          [account number] isn't development friendly, it's only for reports... It's disgustingly horrible (for DataColumns). :laugh:
