That's technically true, but where will you find a JSON document in the
wild that contains "\u0000"?  JSON parsers written in C won't be able to
handle it either, since AFAIK they all return C strings.  You probably
won't be able to store it in a database either, since they use C APIs
somewhere in the process.

I am frankly sick of tools bending over backwards to support NUL.
