List type json throwing error while unflattening

[mandaltapesh]

Hi,

Seeing this error for the json [{'name': 'john'}]

import json_flatten
json_flatten.flatten([{'name': 'john'}])
{'[0].name': 'john'}
res = json_flatten.flatten([{'name': 'john'}])
json_flatten.unflatten(res)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/json_flatten.py", line 127, in unflatten
if list(obj.keys()) == [""]:
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'keys'

This library wasn't designed to handle lists as the lowest level element.

Having thought about it bit... I think I'm OK with that restriction, but it needs to return a better error message and be mentioned in the documentation.
