24.3.50; json.el can't encode lists of lists |

Hello all,
The function `json-encode' can't encode a list thats composed only of other
lists, i.e. the following doesn't work:
(json-encode '((1 2 3))) => Error: (json-key-format 1)
If I had an extra "nil" in the topmost list `json-encode' then it works
fine:
(json-encode '((1 2 3) nil)) => "[[1,2,3],null]"
However if I replace the `nil' with another list then I get the same
error:
(json-encode '((1 2 3) (4))) => Error: (json-key-format 1)
Here's a small ERT test that should trigger the bug:
(ert-deftest json-encode-list-of-lists-test ()
(ert-should (string= (json-encode '(1 2 3)) "[1,2,3]")) ;
works
(ert-should (string= (json-encode '((1) 2 3)) "[[1],2,3]")) ;
works
(ert-should (string= (json-encode '((1 2 3))) "[[1,2,3]]")) ;
doesn't work
(ert-should (string= (json-encode '((1 2 3) nil)) "[[1,2,3],null]")) ;
works
(ert-should (string= (json-encode '((1 2 3) (4))) "[[1,2,3],[4]]")) ;
doesn't work
)
Best regards,
Rolando Pereira
