TypeError: the JSON object must be str, bytes or bytearray, not OrderedDict

I'm using last release 2.2.7.

It seems to be a similar error as in #21 that was fixed in v1.3.5. However, it seems exactly the same issue as in #106

So there is maybe another json.loads that should be changed in json.dumps.

While decoding a token:

Token payload values:
…
[+] prop_a = JSON object:
    [+] aaa = "['stuff_a', 'stuff_b', 'stuff_c', 'stuff_d']"
[+] prop_b = JSON object:

    comparestamps, expiredtoken = dissectPayl(paylDict)

TypeError: the JSON object must be str, bytes or bytearray, not OrderedDict

The data:

  …
  "prop_a": {
    "aaa": [
      "stuff_a",
      "stuff_b",
      "stuff_c",
      "stuff_d"
    ]
  },
  "prop_b": {
    "bbb": {
      "ccc": [
        "stuff_e",
        "stuff_f",
        "stuff_g"
      ]
    }
  },
  …

It seems #114 and #111 are trying to fix OrderedDict casting issues.

I'm facing the same issue, #111 fixed it in my case.

Same here with release 2.2.7.

For example for Firebase JWT, there are claims like:

{
  "email": "user@example.com",
  "email_verified": true,
  "firebase": {
    "identities": {
      "email": ["user@example.com"]
    },
    "sign_in_provider": "password"
  }
}

jwt_tool crashes:

...
[+] email_verified = False
[+] firebase = JSON object:
