Strict variant that allows non-Object/Array top level types #393

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The latest Ecmascript standard (which modern browsers adhere to) follows RFC 
4627 strictly, with the one exception that the top-level type can be any type, 
not just Object or Array. It would be nice to have a Gson parsing mode that has 
the same behavior.

You can use setLenient(true) to enable this. Unfortunately this also disables 
other strictness checks.

One more option, while I'm thinking of it. You can wrap your document in '[' 
and ']' to make it conform to the strict standard.

To check whether something is valid JSON as per Ecmascript would then require 
catching a MalformedJsonException, wrapping in '[' + json + ']', and trying 
again? I don't think that is reasonable.
