Invalid JSON in the API #47

Open juantrias opened 4 years ago

juantrias commented 4 years ago

http://liveresultat.orientering.se/api.php?method=getcompetitions is now serving an invalid JSON because of a tab character inside " BEL_Ve Sprint Rocourt" competition. Tab characters and other special characters should be escaped on JSON when used inside strings https://www.freeformatter.com/json-escape.html.

I suppose that using json_encode to build the JSON as suggested in #43 should solve the problem. Otherwise you would have to manually escape this special chars before building the JSON.

Thanks for reporting this. The whole API is under reconstruction where there will be a lot more and better validation on these issues.

Sorry I didn't save the eventid I remember the name started with MTBO. Right now it doesn't return any error.

I have the same issue with another competition: "id":22247, "name":" Mistrovství ČR ve sprintu"

Also, It's difficult to me if the JSON return a extra double quotes. For example in this competition: 2022-05-07 ДП 20-21 Средна дистанция / купа "Христо Ботев" БФО, Вариант5 Competition: "id":22509, "name":"ДП 20-21 Средна дистанция / купа ""Христо Ботев"""

Just found out the API to retrieve the events was delivering invalid JSON due to some events having TAB-characters (ASCII 9) in their name: 20411;DM, sprint, Västergötland[TAB];2021-09-11 00:00:00 21615;Barbate SUN-O Cup - Night+Classic[TAB];2022-02-12 00:00:00 28408;2[TAB]Купа knsb;2022-12-02 00:00:00

I cleaned up those events manually and so the JSON seems to be clean... for now. :)
