I’m a little unclear on something in the documentation, which states:

_The PushPublishMap.txt file now supports quotation (") marks around the keys and value strings, in compliance with the JSON specification. Older files without quotation marks will continue to work for a limited time. Update your files as you edit them to retain compatibility with future versions of Push Publishing._

_([https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-push-streams-to-cdns-and-other-services-push-publishing#config](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-push-streams-to-cdns-and-other-services-push-publishing#config))_

But the examples don’t use quotation marks around keys (not in the documentation, nor in the sample file shipped with WSE 4).

If I understand this correctly, instead of this:

{profile:“rtmp”, streamName:“myStream”, host:“[www.mydestination.com](http://www.mydestination.com)”}

I should be doing this:

{“profile”:“rtmp”, “streamName”:“myStream”, “host”:“[www.mydestination.com](http://www.mydestination.com)”}

correct?

I think the 2nd one should work, where both the keys and values are quoted. The first one might work but it might not. I would be consistent, quote keys and values or don’t quote either.
