Is a primitive type considered JSON?

Question

Most place the JSON is in format like

{
    color: \"red\",
    value: \"#f00\"
}

Or

[  
    { color: \"red\",     value: \"#f0         


        

Answer 1

FWIW, here's output from the command line JSON parser prgram jq:

$ echo "{ foo }" | jq .
parse error: Invalid literal at line 1, column 6

$ echo "{ \"foo\" }" | jq .
parse error: Objects must consist of key:value pairs at line 1, column 9

$ echo "\"foo\"" | jq .
"foo"

I don't have access to other parser at the moment.
