JadeJSON improvement - allow for reserved JADE property names

We have encountered problems when parsing a JSON file where the property names clash with JADE reserved names (eg. "edition" or "system"). Would it be possible to have add a standard modifier on a reserved name (e.g. edition_ ) and still allow the JSON file to be parsed correctly?

    That sounds like a good solution. Do you have any examples of how the you would retrieve values from the temporary objects returned by this method?

    This functionality is also available for REST services. Just set the parameter type of your REST method to a JadeJsonObject. You can find more information about using the feature in REST in Chapter 11 of the developers reference on building web services: https://secure.jadeworld.com/developer-centre/Jade2022/OnlineDocumentation/?__hstc=263335187.47d96ef7768c00ce46f1026ec4e0fe55.1730861617105.1730861617105.1730861617105.1&__hssc=263335187.1.1730861617105&__hsfp=1977143985#resources/devref/ch11webserviceapps/chapter_11_-_building_web_service_applications.htm?TocPath=Product%2520Information%257CDeveloper's%2520Reference%257CChapter%252011%25C2%25A0%25C2%25A0%25C2%25A0%25C2%25A0Building%2520Web%2520Service%2520Applications%257C_____0

    Hi,

    Our recommended approach for any situation where incoming JSON data can't be directly transformed to a JADE object is to use the new Dynamic Parsing feature introduced in JADE 2022 SP3: https://secure.jadeworld.com/developer-centre/Jade2022/OnlineDocumentation/?__hstc=263335187.47d96ef7768c00ce46f1026ec4e0fe55.1730861617105.1730861617105.1730861617105.1&__hssc=263335187.1.1730861617105&__hsfp=1977143985#resources/encyclosys1/jadejson_class/parsedynamic.htm

    This feature allows you to ingest any valid JSON without restrictions as a temporary navigable and modifiable data structure within JADE. You are then free to clean or modify the data as you wish and transform it into a JADE object for permanent storage.

    This would be a problem with a JSON string from an external source that is not aware of Jade reserved words.
