jsondecode: preserve original string

I would like to preserve the original string (that contains unicode characters??) when I use the function jsondecode.

Example:

jsontext='{"IDs":"\u00b0C"}'

Data=jsondecode(jsontext)

Result obtained:

Data =

struct with fields:

IDs: '°C'

Desired result:

Data =

struct with fields:

IDs: '\u00b0C'

Thanks for the help!

If the jsondecode function does not mention this as an option, it is not possible without modifying the code, which you should not do for an internal function.

I have written a JSON decoder as well (be aware that it can be very slow for large and deeply nested objects). You can get it from the FEX and then edit the lines where unicode objects are parsed.

Thank you so much! Your JSON decoder works very well and it is perfect for my needs!
