Takeaway: Dont parse json. Every json parser is wrong. Json is not a standard.

Parsing everything is NOT a minefield. We have BNF's parser theory etc for that. Lots of languages have clear unambigious definitions... Json clearly not. ITs a disgrace for the software engineering community.

JSON does have a BNF definition. http://www.json.org/
