Webhelpers.ConvertToJson() Issue

[sssh]

I am trying to convert a dictionary to JSON using WebHelpers.ConvertToJson() method like below .
Dim RDict As New Dictionary
RDict.Add "testkey1", "test/value/1"
RDict.Add "testkey/2", "test/value/2/"
Below is the JSON string I am getting:
{"testkey1":"test/value/1","testkey/2":"test/value/2/"}
'/' in the value is getting converted as '/'.It would be great if anybody suggest a solution for this issue ?

Hmm, I'll look more into this, I think that is in the JSON spec, but I'm not sure.

Ok, after re-reading the spec, it the "solidus" / CAN be escaped with \/ (and has in the past for html/xml compatibility), but it isn't required.

I've added an issue on VBA-JSON to make it optional: VBA-tools/VBA-JSON#14

@timhall Thanks for the response. Is there any immediate fix I can apply to resolve this?

[timhall]

You can comment out line ~2195-2196 of WebHelpers to remove the encoding.

@timhall Thanks for that tip! It worked.

This will be tracked in VBA-tools/VBA-JSON#14, closing
