Error during parsing hex codes.

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Try to parse string value with hex codes.

{
"title" : "The Dun \x26 Bradstreet Corporation",
"id" : "10242"
}

we get:

Caused by: com.google.gson.ParseException: Encountered "\"" at line 2,
column 20.
Was expecting one of:
    <DIGITS> ...
    "null" ...
    "NaN" ...
    "Infinity" ...
    <BOOLEAN> ...
    <SINGLE_QUOTE_LITERAL> ...
    <DOUBLE_QUOTE_LITERAL> ...
    "{" ...
    "[" ...
    "-" ...

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

There must not be any errors!

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

1.3.b

Please provide any additional information below.

Hex escapes are not a part of the JSON specification - or JSON RFC4627.
ParseException is the correct behavior when provided with invalid JSON.

The correct escape in your example is \u0026 instead of \x26.

Note: I am not a developer on this project, or with google.

As Nuutti points out, this is an invalid bug. You need to use the unicode 
escape 
sequence.
