Single map inside a list, list is not preserved

[jpaasen]

I have the following simple json-file that does not remain the same if you read it using loadjson and then store it with savejson (using the master branch and Matlab 2014b).

{
    "test1":[
        {
            "A":0,
            "B":1
        }
    ],
    "test2":{
        "C":2,
        "D":3
    }
}

The '[]' brackets are removed. I know that arrays with single elements is quite problematic in Matlab, but it looks like you now, compared to older versions, are able to create a cell-array holding a single struct. At least that is what I see printed in the console after loading the example file.

test = loadjson('test.json')
test = 
     test1 : {[1x1 struct]}
     test2 : [1x1 struct]

Would it be possible to use this information when storing the json file to preserve the single element list?

Having the same issue. An array with 1 element is not the same as the element directly.

Changing line 188 and 219 (replacing len > 1 by len > 0) does fix this in my case, but I am not well aware of possible side effects.

Thanks. It works for me as well.

Any chance to have the following file preserved after load-and-store?

{
    "test1":[0],
    "test2":1
}
