Thanks. That explains it.

I actually have this dictionary as part of a struct (in code someone else wrote so can’t modify that). Is there some way to teach JSON3 to convert this to a [key, value] array and then when it reads it back in convert it to a dictionary. I could do this by hand, but it would be nice if it did this automagically.

Thanks for the help again. I am new to using JSON
