Hmmm... good point. You also need to distinguish between square
brackets that are inside or outside of strings, so you'd encode
those, too. Then you could do your conversion like this:
LUA = JSON
:gsub('([^\\])\\"', '%13円')
:gsub('"[^"]*"',
function(s) print(s) return s:gsub('[%[%]]', {['[']='1円',
[']']='2円'}) end)
:gsub('[%[%]]', {['[']='{', [']']='}'})
:gsub('("[^"]*")%s*:', '[ %1 ] =')
:gsub('[1円2円3円]', {['1円']='[', ['2円']=']', ['3円']='\\"'})
Which is to say:
encode all \" as 3円 (while leaving \\" alone)
within strings only:
encode [ and ] as 1円 and 2円
replace "key": with [ key ] =
decode [, ], and \"
