Hi.

json-parse cannot handle JSON data with inner double quote chars.

Code: Select all

> (setf data [text]{"foo": ["bar", "\"baz\""]}[/text])
"{\"foo\": [\"bar\", \"\\\"baz\\\"\"]}"
> (json-parse data)
nil
> (json-error)
("invalid JSON array format" 19)
This problem doesn't occur in previous json module.

Code: Select all

> (module "json.lsp")
MAIN
> (json2expr data)
(("foo" ("bar" "\"baz\"")))
P.S. Is json module no longer available?
Documentation page is alive. but download link is 404.

Thanks Kosh, now fixed here:

http://www.newlisp.org/downloads/develo ... nprogress/

Code: Select all

newLISP v.10.5.2 64-bit on OSX IPv4/6 UTF-8 libffi, options: newlisp -h

> (setf data [text]{"foo": ["bar", "\"baz\""]}[/text])
"{\"foo\": [\"bar\", \"\\\"baz\\\"\"]}"
>  (json-parse data)
(("foo" ("bar" "\"baz\"")))
> 
Ps: also restored the source for the old json.lsp

Thanks Lutz.

> (json-parse [text]{"a backslash":"\\"}[/text])
(("a backslash" "\\\\"))
This retun value is maybe (("a backslash" "\\"))

Thanks Kosh, I fixed the escaped back slash:

Code: Select all

> (json-parse [text]{"a backslash":"\\"}[/text])
(("a backslash" "\\"))
... for cases in your other post, where json-parse lets pass certain misformed content, json-parse will stay as it is:
