title: Parse error creating Erlang JSON string
body: <p>I'm having trouble properly escaping a string I'm trying to use to represent JSON in Erlang. I'm not sure why this particular sequence is giving the parser trouble. I have this string in a Basho Bench configuration file.</p>
  
  <pre><code>'{
   "stats":"completed",
   "times":[
      {
          "time":"2014-10-29T23:40:46.558Z"
      }
   ]
  }'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am getting this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>23:37:18.521 [error] Failed to parse config file server/http.config.erl: {29,erl_scan,{illegal,atom}}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It seems like maybe the issue is the numbers in the string but I don't get how I would escape them. Any thoughts?</p>
