Derek Jensen commented on CB-192:
---------------------------------
Thats fine if you don't want to support it, however you may find that
regressive functionality is not particularly good coding practice. In other
words, it used to work, and now it doesn't.
The rationale presented here is weak, considering Objective-C NSString class
has no problem with imbedded nulls: It would break Unicode strings if it didn't
work. There is no security issue per-se.
My final point is this: it fails SILENTLY. At least output something to the
console that tells the developer that you are throwing away a plugin call.
It's very hard to debug when it just goes away without a trace. Calling back to
the failure function if provided would also be a plus.

> Passing an string argument with hex 0 imbedded in it causes the plugin to
> fail silently.
> While the argument is correctly processed by JSON.stringify(), the plugin
> objective-c code
> is never called. To see this in action, try console.log("foo\x00");
