Tabs are not valid JSON
- zimpenfish 5y agoDo you have a link for that? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/JSON https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe... says: > Insignificant whitespace may be present anywhere except within a JSONNumber [forbidden] or JSONString [interpreted as part of the string] And specifically lists tab as whitespace: > The tab character (U+0009), carriage return (U+000D), line feed (U+000A), and space (U+0020) characters are the only valid whitespace characters. More specifically, expanding https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8259#section-2 https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8259#section-2 gives an array as (roughly) > ws %x5B ws value (ws %x2C ws value)* ws %x5D ws Where `ws` explicitly includes `%x09`. Which seems to cover this case?
- Someone 5y agoThe grammar in https://www.json.org/json-en.html https://www.json.org/json-en.html disagrees. It has json element element ws value ws ws ‘0009’ ws
- tonyg 5y agoPer RFC 8259: ws = *( %x20 / ; Space %x09 / ; Horizontal tab %x0A / ; Line feed or New line %x0D ) ; Carriage return
