As I already stated in a previous message, if your reader can only read what 
your writer writes, your format is JSON in name only. A "real" JSON reader 
must be able to read not just the literal output of the writer, but a 
modified JSON file that is (per spec) equivalent to the original. Which 
includes reordered fields, as you yourself wrote in the very previous 
paragraph.
