Yes. The same with numbers. In CIF "12" and 12 don't mean exactly thesame - the first is for sure not a number. So in my opinion it'd bebetter to represent them in JSON also as "12" and 12.

You mean you'd prefer to express CIF NULL as "\u0000" rather than JSON null?_______________________________________________cif-developers mailing listcif-developers@iucr.orghttp://mailman.iucr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cif-developers
