loadjson: complex value was replaced by its conjugate

[oldoldstone]

example

>> dat=loadjson('{"array":[1,2,3-4i]}')
dat = 
  array: [1.0000 + 0.0000i 2.0000 + 0.0000i 3.0000 + 4.0000i]

maybe caused by this code

loadjson.m, row 410
if(~iscell(object) && size(object,1)>1 && ndims(object)==2)
   object=object';
end

should be
object=object.';

interesting finding .. thanks, it is now fixed.

I want to mention that {"array":[1,2,3-4i]} is not a valid JSON string because JSON does not support complex numbers, but using the default FastArrayParser, this is acceptable to loadjson and can be parsed. Disabling it will give an error

loadjson('{"array":[1,2,3-4i]}','fastarrayparser',0)

A more unambiguous (and JSON compatible) way to handle complex number is to use the built-in JData annotation:

array=[1,2,3-4i];
savejson(array)
loadjson(savejson(array))
