Re: [Json] Gen-ART and OPS-Dir review of draft-ietf-json-text-sequence-09

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.
