print(typeof({1:0})) # prints 18 i.e TYPE_DICTIONARY = 18 this is okay
print(parse_json("{1:0}")) # prints Null and this is not okay
print(parse_json("(1:0)")) # prints Null
How can i get dictionary with method parse_json()?

parse_json("{1:0}") returns null because "{1:0}" is not valid JSON. The specification does not allow numbers as keys, only strings.
parse_json("(1:0)") is also invalid not only for the same reason, but also because the JSON specification does not have any ().
If you want to save a container which has numbers as keys, use an array, or use a dictionary where keys are converted to string.
Can you give an example with parse_json(), returning a dictionary pls?

Hi, try with this:
print(parse_json('{"1":0}'))
Keys must be string as @Zylann said. Notice also the use of quotes… it won’t work if you change them like this: print(parse_json("{'1':0}"))
Wow, it works! You are my savior. (i confused in quotes :/)
