[issue42583] JSON.dumps() creates invalid JSON with single quotes

[Kjartan Hrafnkelsson]

New submission from Kjartan Hrafnkelsson <george at bund.lu>:

the JSON.dumps() function should create valid JSON using double quotes only, however when the function is run with an object as its argument it results in invalid JSON using single quotes. As defined in the ECMA-404 JSON Data Interchange Syntax (http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST/ECMA-404.pdf) JSON should use double quotes not single quotes.
