Windows 11 Notes

Windows 11 command prompt presents some challenges for working with JSON on the command line. This is partularly true if you’re not using the Linux subsystem shell. A command line

    dataset create T1.ds one '{"one":1}'

which would work in a POSIX shell fails. The command prompt makes the JSON expression look like {one:1} which is NOT JSON and also not a filename. As a result working with dataset at the Windows command prompt requires conforming to the command prompt’s expectation on quoting. This will work.

    dataset create T1.ds one "{"""one""":1}
