 Output is a dictionary containing all values parsed from this JSON file.

+\textbf{Meaning of single quotes in square brackets}
+
+Single quotes are used to convert the content inside to a string.
+
+\begin{itemize}
+   \item In case of the parameter \pcode{param} is of type string, the expressions \pcode{[$\{param\}]} and \pcode{['$\{param\}']} have the same outcome:
+         The content inside the square brackets is a string. The single quotes have no meaning in this case (because the parameter is already of type string).
+   \item In case of the parameter \pcode{param} is of type integer, the quotes in \pcode{['$\{param\}']} convert the integer value to a string.
+         Without the quotes (\pcode{[$\{param\}]}), the content inside the square brackets is an integer.
+\end{itemize}
+
+In the context of \pkg\ JSON files, only strings and integers are expected to be inside square brackets (except the brackets are used to define a list).
+Other data types are not supported here.
+
+Whether a string or an integer is expected, depends on the data type of the parameter, the square bracket expression belongs to. Dictionaries require a string (a key name), lists require an integer (an index).
+Deviations will cause an error.
+
+Summarized the following combinations are valid (on both the left hand side of the colon and the right hand side of the colon):
+
+\begin{pythoncode}
+${listparam}[${intparam}]

+\textbf{Key names}

+The implicit creation of data structures is only possible with \textit{hard coded} key names. Parameters are not supported.
