In the example for entries I see that object is used as key. But when I evaluate the example it throws the below error

Is the code in the docs correct or am I missing something?

Indeed, this example doesn't render properly to json or yaml, just to pcf. Probably a good idea to change it to something that's json renderable.

I was thinking it can be changed to something like this, not sure if it exactly highlights the purpose of the example for entries.

pigeonShelter {
  ["bird"] {
    name = "Common wood pigeon"
    diet = "Seeds"
    taxonomy {
      species = "Columba palumbus"
    }
  }
  ["address"] = "355 Bird St."
}
count = "value"
birdCount {
  ["value"] = 42
