Play Framework json labels without quotes

Question

Is there any way to make play framework accept json labels without quotes?

I mean:

Accept not just:

{ "key" : "value" }

also:

{ key : "value" }

Thanks!

Answer 1

No, because that does not follow the json specification.

You could theoretically use the Nashorn scripting engine (available in the JVM) to parse the javascript object literal notation.
