note 126763 added to function.json-encode

> While most decoders will accept these values as valid JSON, some may not, as the specification > is ambiguous on this point. The specification (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8259#section-2) is not ambiguous, whether you look at RFC8259, go back to RFC7159 or 7158 or 4627, look at (either edition of) ECMA-404, or even at JSON.org. The original RFC - from 16 years ago, mind you - specified that the root level of JSON text could only be a object or array. Literally every other standard - from as long as 9 years ago (RFC7158 and ECMA-404 1st Ed.) and as recent as 5 years ago (RFC8259 and ECMA-404 2nd Ed., both current standards) - makes explicit that any value can appear at the root. ---- Server IP: 45.112.84.4 Probable Submitter: 80.90.5.135 (proxied: 74.192.150.87) ---- Manual Page -- https://php.net/manual/en/function.json-encode.php Edit -- https://main.php.net/note/edit/126763 Del: integrated -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/126763/integrated Del: useless -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/126763/useless Del: bad code -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/126763/bad+code Del: spam -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/126763/spam Del: non-english -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/126763/non-english Del: in docs -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/126763/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://main.php.net/note/delete/126763 Reject -- https://main.php.net/note/reject/126763 Search -- https://main.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
