JGET returns invalid JSON when JSET sends strings that look like numbers

[spierepf]

$ telnet localhost 9851
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
JSET user 901 name 0236
+OK
jget user 901
$13
{"name":0236}
JSET user 901 name "0236"
+OK
jget user 901
$13
{"name":0236}

The trouble is that {"name":0236} is not strictly valid JSON and is rejected by the Jackson parser (https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson)

Is there syntax that will force JSET to treat the value as a string?

Thanks for reporting this. Until this issue is fixed, as a workaround, I recommend using the RAW or STR options. The RAW option puts raw json, as is, into the field. The STR option converts the value to a valid json string, no matter what it is.

JSET user 901 name '"0236"' RAW
JSET user 901 name 0236 STR
``

Sorry, I should have seen that in the docs. Thanks!
