note 129887 added to function.json-encode

Beware of Trailing Backslashes! The JSON specification *does not allow* trailing backslashes in strings. It will create a JSON-encoded string without throwing an error, but this string will cause an error when parsed. For example, the string "Example\" will cause the following error in JavaScript when parsing: JSON.parse: expected ',' or '}' after property value in object This appears to be an oversight in the JSON specification and the only work-around appears to be removing trailing slashes from all strings before encoding. ---- Server IP: 45.112.84.4 Probable Submitter: 80.90.5.137 (proxied: 79.135.105.182) ---- Manual Page -- https://php.net/manual/en/function.json-encode.php Edit -- https://main.php.net/note/edit/129887 Del: integrated -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129887/integrated Del: useless -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129887/useless Del: bad code -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129887/bad+code Del: spam -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129887/spam Del: non-english -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129887/non-english Del: in docs -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129887/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://main.php.net/note/delete/129887 Reject -- https://main.php.net/note/reject/129887 Search -- https://main.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
