Description
When using data() to get objects from a Data Attribute, the attribute must be within single quotes:
<div data-example='{"foo":"bar"}'>
It's much more common to use double quotes for attributes, so the following should also be valid:
<div data-example="{'foo':'bar'}">
This is not currently recognized by jQuery.
Replying to [ticket:7499 p_gasston@…]:
This isn't a jQuery bug. The reason this doesn't work is the value of
data-examplelooks like JSON but actually is invalid. JSON requires you to use double quotes (check http://www.json.org/).
