Jeff Hammerbacher commented on AVRO-268:
----------------------------------------
Worth noting that the new behavior is not standard:
JavaScript:
{code}
js> var a = JSON.parse('{ "key": "value" } foo bar baz');
js: "/Users/hammer/codebox/narwhal/engines/default/lib/json.js", line 474:
exception from uncaught JavaScript throw: SyntaxError: JSON.parse
{code}
Python:
{code}
>>> b = json.loads('{ "key": "value" } foo bar baz')

>
> This is a drop-in replacement for the current JSON parser which is based on
> lemon (a LALR parser generator).
> This parser
> * reads and returns a single JSON_value and its nested children (using
> recursive descent parsing)
> * allows you to process JSON from streams in addition to static memory buffers
> * correctly processes unicode \u escaping including surrogates
> * distinguishes between integer and real number representations
> * provides information about the line and character in JSON that failed to
> parse
> * is much simpler to understand and maintain (less lines of code and source
> files)
> * is written to allow error recovery to be added later
> This patch also adds more unit tests.
