Cannot provide a number as a key in JSON - get an "Unexpected number" error.

[AP]

Hello, 

If I provide this simple data to a chart, the chart data shows up correctly.

var data = [

                {"state":"NY","abc":12312},

                {"state":"AZ","abc":12312},

                {"state":"CA","abc":12312},

                {"state":"VT","abc":12312}

            ];

Please note that the above JSON has STRINGS for the keys.

However, if I provide a number as a key, I get an "Unexpected number at line number 2156" error.

var data = [

                {"state":"MH","1":12312},

                {"state":"MH","1":12312},

                {"state":"MH","1":12312},

                {"state":"MH","1":12312}

            ];

Any help?

Hello,

In order to get the desired outcome you can pass an array to the series. I.e.:

$("#chart").kendoChart({
  //...
  dataSource: {
      data: [
         {"state":"MH","1":12312},
         {"state":"MH","1":12312},
         {"state":"MH","1":12312},
         {"state":"MH","1":12312}]
  },
  series: [{
      field: "['1']"
  }]
})

For a working example please check this jsBin example.
