[twitter-dev] Non-finite values in Geo Location bounding_box.coordinates

2010-03-10 Thread Don Park 
Hi,

Some of the tweets are causing my JSON parser (Json-Lib) to throw
JSON does not allow non-finite numbers exception. Looking at the
tweet, only likely suspect is the new Geo Location field
'bounding_box'.

bounding_box: {
type: Polygon,
coordinates: [
[
[
1.79769313486232e+308,
1.79769313486232e+308
],
[
-1.79769313486232e+308,
1.79769313486232e+308
],
[
-1.79769313486232e+308,
-1.79769313486232e+308
],
[
1.79769313486232e+308,
-1.79769313486232e+308
]
]
]
},

JSON verifiers say they are valid so it's kinda confusing.
Nevertheless, I thought Twitter API team should be aware that some of
the JSON parsers are barfing on tweets like above.

Best,

Don Park

This hit TTYtter as well, although I'm just rolling out a change to make it
accept the numbers, since they are syntactically valid.
