parse error #26

Closed tedx closed 9 years ago

What does the 'at <number' mean, line, byte offset? I'm parsing big json files and it would be nice if the error message would show some of the json prior to the error to make it easier to find/fix.

It is an offset.

I'm trying to keep code of the Python backend small and with minimal bookkeeping overhead, so I couldn't come up with a good way to maintain extended context for error reporting. If you can suggest any, feel free to open a pull request.
