Description

Suppose I have a json array name myEmployees as $scope.myEmployees = [{ "firstName (Employee Name)": "Cox", "lastName": "Carney", "company": "Enormo", "employed": true }, { "firstName (Employee Name)": "Lorraine", "lastName": "Wise", "company": "Comveyer", "employed": false }, { "firstName (Employee Name)": "Nancy", "lastName": "Waters", "company": "Fuelton", "employed": false }];

Here is my html. <div id="grid1" ui-grid="{ data: myEmployees }" class="grid"></div>

This code produces error and table will not be rendered. An example of this issue is here, Plunker Link

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how ui grid parses column headers from data, specifically the handling of parentheses in column names. Look for any regex or splitting logic that might fail when parentheses are present.
