@JSON cant have negative number

[mathiasrw]

When having minus in front of a (number) value the parser cannot handle the JSON

> alasql "SELECT * FROM @[{delay:5},{delay:-7}]"
[Error: Parse error on line 1:
...M @[{delay:5},{delay:-7}]
-----------------------^
Expecting 'COLON', got 'COLONDASH']

Workaound in the moment: put ' around the negative numbers ('-7')

@mathiasrw Yes,now you need to put () around any expression inside JSON object. This is a parser problem, because it does not know how to handle this expression:

    @{a:@{b}}

is this the expression inside expression or this is a sub-json object. Probably, we have to leave it as it is.

Good to see you again.

I get it - its because we consider -7 to be an expression... and they need to be wrapped in ( )
