python-dotenv does not store valid JSON. The JSON standard requires double quotes and will not accept single quotes, nor will the parser.
JSON values are escaped to death by python-dotenv because double quotes are used to delimit values. For example, instead of storing JSON values nicely, like this:
They are stored as:
... which is not JSON. Yes, it could be transformed into JSON.
python-dotenv reads values surrounded by single quotes without any problem. Is there a technical reason why values are not stored by default surrounded by single quotes?
