The spec says we should allow UTF-16 // (BE or LE) and UTF-32 (BE or LE) as well. // - We limit nesting to 100 levels to prevent stack overflow (this is allowed // by the RFC). // - A Unicode FAQ ("http://unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html") writes a data // stream may start with a Unicode Byte-Order-Mark (U+FEFF), i.e. the input // UTF-8 string for the JSONReader::JsonToValue() function may start with a // UTF-8 BOM (0xEF, 0xBB, 0xBF). // To avoid the function from mis-treating a UTF-8 BOM as an invalid // character, the function skips a Unicode BOM at the beginning of the // Unicode string (converted from the input UTF-8 string) before parsing it. // // TODO(tc): Add a parsing option to to relax object keys being wrapped in // double quotes // TODO(tc): Add an option to disable comment stripping #ifndef BASE_JSON_JSON_READER_H_ #define BASE_JSON_JSON_READER_H_ #include #include "base/base_export.h" #include "base/memory/scoped_ptr.h" #include "base/strings/string_piece.h" namespace base { class Value; namespace internal { class JSONParser; } enum JSONParserOptions { // Parses the input strictly according to RFC 4627, except for where noted // above.
