Arrays of dictionaries with same keys

[raman2805]

The follow ill formatted json

[
    {
      "Value": 1.25
    } 
    {
      "Value": 2.5 
    }
]

gets converted to

[
    {
      "Value": 2.5
    }
]

I would expect it to get converted to

[
    {
      "Value": 1.25
    }, 
    {
      "Value": 2.5 
    }
]

The second object overrides the first when the comma is missing, doesn't it?

Is this part of the documentation, maybe I missed it. Can this be disabled or this is an intended feature ?

@igorpeshansky is right. In the spec:

desugar(expr { ... }, b)    =   desugar(expr + { ... }, b)

Which means:

{ "Value": 1.25} {"Value": 2.5}

is desugared to:

{ "Value": 1.25} + {"Value": 2.5}

This is a language feature meant to allow convinient mixin syntax

Yeah it's "unfortunate" that in this case forgetting a comma results in
different behavior rather than an error. But it is intended, e.g. the
first example on jsonnet.org uses it:
person2: self.person1 { name: "Bob" }
