Servicestack json allow unquoted properties

Question

Is it possible to tell servicestack to allow unquoted properties in JSON?

I have a lot of JSON that I need to send to a service which doesn't have quoted properties - this would help a lot if it can be bound without quoted parameters.

I have this:

{
  color: "blue",
  size: 14
}

Servicestack wants this:

{
  "color": "blue",
  "size": 14
}

By definition, JSON keys must be in quotes, as it is a string. What you are displaying here is just javascript object notation.

JSON Spec - does the key have to be surrounded with quotes?

that's what JSON is no? – Aug 30 '13 at 16:23
@iwayneo FYI: this answer is correct. Valid JSON requires quotes for strings and keys in object literals. – mythz Aug 30 '13 at 18:40
@Brad M: I can understand his confusion...JSON actually stands for JavaScript Object Notation. – Isaac Dontje Lindell Jun 25 '14 at 11:46
