Patrik Fältström scripsit:
This implies the whole thing is a UTF-8 encoded text that is to be
parsed like this:
No, this is a misunderstanding. There is no requirement that the sequence
*as a whole* is well-formed UTF-8 text. For example, if the first JSON
text is written only in part for whatever reason (system crash, etc.) to
a log file, the next process can write a 0x1E byte and carry on.
I.e. the blob, to be compliant with this document, MUST be UTF-8 encoded JSON.
The possible-JSON part is either UTF-8 encoded JSON or it's arbitrary junk.
