JSON encoding for boolean

[gregit]

Hello,
I would expect the boolean key to be encoded as a JSON boolean instead of text.

current result as of 3.18.0:

>> encode 'json to-map [text: "text" boolean: true integer: 6]
== {{"text":"text","boolean":"true","integer":6}}

expected:
== {{"text":"text","boolean":true,"integer":6}}

Actually in your example the boolean value is not logic, but word!

>> encode 'json to-map [text: "text" boolean: #(true) integer: 6 none: #(none) word: foo]
== {{"text":"text","boolean":true,"integer":6,"none":null,"word":"foo"}}

>> encode 'json  reduce ['true true]
== {["true",true]}

Also... when you are using a to-map (which is just a function wrapper around to map!), you may want to use to-json instead of encode 'json ....

>> import json
>> ? to-json

Thanks, just tried to-json but it doesn't really do what I'd like:

>> to-json [text: "text" boolean: #(true) integer: 6 none: #(none) word: foo]

= {["text:","text","boolean:",true,"integer:",6,"none:",null,"word:","foo"]}

I don't have an idea what you would like... it converts a value into a JSON format. In you case above it converts a block...

>> to-json 1
== "1"

>> to-json [1 2]
== "[1,2]"

>> to-json #[foo: 1]
== {{"foo":1}}
