Let me repeat, as it seems you need to be told that over and over again:

I agree with afoken here.

Do yourself a favour and adhere to well-advised advice already given. If you don't, you may be ignored or slighted by those who can help.

ok i understand

[stevieb]

Huh? Is there a question?

Also, a Perl hash (and subsequently a JSON object) can only contain *unique* keys.

Actually, a JSON object doesn't have to contain unique keys. But the JSON spec doesn't define what implementations should do with objects that have a repeated key. Some will throw an error; some will accept the first value; some will accept the last value; some will do something else interesting.

RFC7159 recommends that keys are unique, but doesn't require it. ECMA-404 says nothing at all about uniqueness of keys.

(The ECMA-262 spec defines how Javascript implementations of JSON.parse must parse JSON, and says to use the last value. But this doesn't say how other languages should implement it, nor how Javascript libraries should implement it if they're not called using the function name JSON.parse.

I once wrote a JSON parser that supports repeated keys in a useful way.
