5 // A JSON parser.  Converts strings of JSON into a Value object (see
6 // base/values.h).
7 // http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt?number=4627
8 //
9 // Known limitations/deviations from the RFC:
10 // - Only knows how to parse ints within the range of a signed 32 bit int and
11 //   decimal numbers within a double.
12 // - Assumes input is encoded as UTF8.  The spec says we should allow UTF-16
13 //   (BE or LE) and UTF-32 (BE or LE) as well.
14 // - We limit nesting to 100 levels to prevent stack overflow (this is allowed
15 //   by the RFC).
16 // - A Unicode FAQ ("http://unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html") writes a data
17 //   stream may start with a Unicode Byte-Order-Mark (U+FEFF), i.e. the input
18 //   UTF-8 string for the JSONReader::JsonToValue() function may start with a
19 //   UTF-8 BOM (0xEF, 0xBB, 0xBF).
20 //   To avoid the function from mis-treating a UTF-8 BOM as an invalid
21 //   character, the function skips a Unicode BOM at the beginning of the
22 //   Unicode string (converted from the input UTF-8 string) before parsing it.
23 //
24 // TODO(tc): Add a parsing option to to relax object keys being wrapped in
25 //   double quotes
26 // TODO(tc): Add an option to disable comment stripping
