 ## [2.6.0.dev0](https://github.com/httpie/httpie/compare/2.5.0...master) (unreleased)
 
+- Fixed duplicate keys preservation of JSON data. ([#1163](https://github.com/httpie/httpie/issues/1163))
 - Added support for formatting & coloring of JSON bodies preceded by non-JSON data (e.g., an XXSI prefix). ([#1130](https://github.com/httpie/httpie/issues/1130))

+        and we could fake that check by implementing the `__bool__()` method.
+        Source:
+            - <https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/9d318ad/Lib/json/encoder.py#L334-L336>

+        is updated only when an item is added/removed from the dict. For that case,
