Ambiguous strings break Json#fromString #42

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The following Json#fromString call

  assertEquals(Json.string("foo"), Json.fromString("foo"));

throws the exception

  java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: false expected

The string "false" is indeed ambiguous, it could either be Json.FALSE or 
Json.string("false"). However, all other strings starting with an "f" aren't 
ambiguous.

I am not sure what the expected output should be. I ran into this issue when 
using a Marshaller<String> 

  createMarshaller(String.class).unmarshall(Json.fromString("foo"));

This is actually a non-issue

Json.string(...)

takes a Java string and produces a Json.String but

Json.fromString

parses a JSON string, and thus strings must be quoted
