akira added the comment: Both json standard (ECMA-404) [1] and the new json rfc 7159 [2] do not mention the encoding detection.
[1] http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST/ECMA-404.pdf [2] https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7159#section-8.1 >From the rfc: > JSON text SHALL be encoded in UTF-8, UTF-16, or UTF-32. The default encoding is UTF-8, and JSON texts that are encoded in UTF-8 are interoperable in the sense that they will be read successfully by the maximum number of implementations; there are many implementations that cannot successfully read texts in other encodings (such as UTF-16 and UTF-32). Implementations MUST NOT add a byte order mark to the beginning of a JSON text. In the interests of interoperability, implementations that parse JSON texts MAY ignore the presence of a byte order mark rather than treating it as an error. ---------- nosy: +akira _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17909> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
