A comment on Oboe.js: reacting to Ajax/Rest quicker by not waiting for it to finish.

Is it intentional that it accepts invalid JSON?

I ask only because most of the examples on that page would not be valid as the name part of the key:value pairs needs to be quoted.

PS: Don't upvote this, it's a minor detail and the big point about the use-case is far more important than this comment.

Should be fixed now. Thanks for pointing out.

There's a test explicitly for not allowing this:

Parsing is built on top of Clarinet (see where the name comes from?)

Unquoted JSON in docs is a mistake. I'll take a look now.

One could be forgiven for thinking it comes from SAX, which is probably where Clarinet comes from.
