    "title": "example glossary",
    "size": [
      5,
      "asd",
      null
    ],
    "GlossDiv": {
      "title\"s": "S",
      "id": 5000000000000,
      "null": null,
      "bool": true,
      "GlossList": {
        "Gloss.Entry": {
          "ID": "SGML",
          "Sort As": "SGML",
          "Gloss-Term": "Standard Generalized Markup Language",
          "Acronym": "SGML",
          "Abbrev": "ISO 8879:1986",
          "GlossDef": {
            "para": "A meta-markup language, used to create markup languages such as DocBook.",
            "GlossSeeAlso": [

              "XML"
            ]
          },
          "GlossSee": "markup"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

# Int
DeepJSON.get("glossary.GlossDiv.id", json) # => 5000000000000

# Bool
DeepJSON.get("glossary.GlossDiv.bool", json) # => true

# add # to get size of array
DeepJSON.get("glossary.size.#", json) # => 3

# allow to use escaping in key
DeepJSON.get("glossary.GlossDiv.title\"s", json) # => "S"

# If key has a dot, just escape it
DeepJSON.get("glossary.GlossDiv.GlossList.Gloss\\.Entry.ID", json) # => "SGML"
