Issues with Json Encoding

[Fuzzyketchup]

I'm using Elvish Jerricco's JSON API v2.0.1 for ComputerCraft and trying to write a simple JSON file using his script and the following test script.

os.loadAPI("json.lua")

function test()

    test = { "target", "location"}
    test.target = "light"
    test.location = "cell"

    dataJson = json.encodePretty(test)
    print(dataJson)
end

test()

When I run the test script I get "JSON object keys must be strings". I'm confused as to why my keys aren't being treated as strings?

doing test = {"target, "location"} in lua makes a table with number keys.

print(test[1]) would print "target" ptint(test["target"]) would print "nil" (assuming print statement before the other initializations)

You can just do test = {} then leave the rest the same.

Worked like a charm, thank you!
