Bug 71772 – Literal tab in JSONString fails

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

[Charles Wei]

currently we fail this test case;

function test(){  /**  literal tab in JSONString */
    /*
    * Spec: 15.12.1.1
    * Spec grammar seems to insist that anything below U+001F is a "control
character"
    * and not allowed to appear literally in JSONString.
    * As JSON grammar isn't meant to change we're stuck with this even if
browsers so far aligned on allowing this..
    */
    var passed=false;
    try{
        JSON.parse(
            '{"test": " "}'   // Replace the space with Tab,  which can't be input here and converts to 4-spaces copy and paste
        );
    }catch(e){
        passed = true;
    }
    return passed;
}
