Apologize for getting back on this thread late, got tied up with some
issues@work.
Paul,
The json parser is not just a tokenizer, it keeps track of the JSON
structure and understands various aspects of it like root, array/objectcontext
and all parsing is done under that context.
- we cannot keep track of {} accurately - For eg: The counting json
processor does a parser. skipChildren which tries to skip to the end of the
JSON, but this can rollover to next line when
there is a malformed JSON in the bottom most json sub object - see example
below (missing " in last json structure). This is similar behavior with the
JsonReader.
{"balance": 1000.0,"num": 100,"is_vip": true,"name":
"foo3","curr":{"denom":"pound","test":{"value :false}}}
- One possible solution is to rewind the input source to reset the stream
(which is not recommended and there is no guarentee that all streams support
mark/reset semantics.
Given where we are, I think the solution proposed works perfect for almost
all malformed JSON's.
