Bug 26802 – JSON.parse fails to parse valid JSON with most Unicode characters

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: JavaScriptCore

[Daniel Fazekas]

The new native JSON support in the nightly builds breaks most non-Western Latin websites, as it fails to parse almost any character other than certain basic Latin 1 letters.

Example:
JSON.parse('"•"');
SyntaxError: Unable to parse JSON string

It even fails to round-trip between its own stringify and parse:
JSON.parse(JSON.stringify('•'));
SyntaxError: Unable to parse JSON string

These of course all work fine with Firefox 3.5, IE 8.0 or Douglas Crockford's JSON2.js.
