Escape vertical tab

[tschechniker]

Hi,

just came over this issue. If you have a string including a vertical tab the json is broken. We need to escape it. Could you please extend the escaping list and add "\v" to be escaped too?

Thanks!

Tobi

something like this helps:

yieldable-stringify.js

 let escape = {
    '\b': '\\b',
    '\t': '\\t',
    '\n': '\\n',
    '\f': '\\f',
    '\r': '\\r',
    '\v': '\\u000B',
    '"': '\\"',
  };

@tschechniker - thanks for reporting this, I will look at this.

Hello, I have the same problem with characters \u0000 to \u0019.

Unfortunately, I acquire strings from a 3rd party source that I need to parse, modify and re-stringify, so I also wonder if there are other possible cases, too?

To clarify, in this example:

const yj = require('yieldable-json');

const obj = { value: '\u0000' };

const str1 = JSON.stringify(obj);
console.log('str1: ' + str1);

yj.stringifyAsync(obj, (err, str2) => {
  console.log('str2: ' + (str2));
  const parsed = JSON.parse(str2);
  console.log(parsed);
});

I get:

str1: {"value":"\u0019"}
str2: {"value":""}
undefined:1
{"value":""}
          ^
