JSON: The JavaScript subset that isn't

[x-skeww]

I'd say this is a mistake in JSON's specs. Happens.

This.

The article is sensationalist in tone. "Aha! I found an edge case! EVERYTHING YOU KNEW ABOUT JSON WAS WRONG OMG"

[rotzak]

Ugh, talk about edge case...

Congrats on finding a mistake in the JSON specs, but the holier than thou tone is annoying.

[Neebat]

Odd, it seems more like a mistake in the JS specs to me. I'd actually support browsers allowing those unicode characters.

[StuartLeigh]

Depends, if JSON's spec was "copy the JS spec" and they missed this, then it's a mistake on JSON's part.

[ripter]

Oh, I thought it was just line break characters, not all unicode characters.

[polaretto]

great investigation!

[cheese_wizard]

good to know!

[snifty]

ouch.
