JSLT has working with this array

[oyeyemi]

Hello sir,
I got to know that JSLT is having problem parsing the following array. It only works when you substitute the [] with {}.

my array:

[ "count": 50,
"ins": {
"in": [
{"type": "value1", "required": "true"},
{"type": "value2", "required": "true"}
]
}
]

Thank you for your help in advance.

You get problems because this

[ "count": 50,

isn't correct array syntax.

Thank you sir for pointing that out.

To clarify one point.

In JSON, one object, say an an animal with name, kind and age is displayed as such

{
  "kind": "cat",
  "name": "Tom",
  "age:" 10
}

Now, if you want to express a collection of animals, they have to be enclosed in '[' ...... ']'.

E.g.:

[
  { "kind": "cat", "name": "Tom", "age": 10 },
  { "kind": "mouse", "name": "Jerry", "age": 6 },
  { "kind": "dog", "name": "Spike", "age": 7 }
]

You can have an empty collection / array: [ ].

If the collection is non-empty, you have to have other arrays or objects inside of it.
Just adding a property ( "count": 50 ) by itself is invalid JSON.

What is valid however, is this:

[
  {
     "count": 50,
     "ins": [
        { "type": "value1", "required": "true" },
        { "type": "value2", "required": "true" }
     ]
  }
]
