Subject: [ruby-core:64406] [ruby-trunk - Bug #10143] [Open] JSON module does not conform to RFC 7159

Issue #10143 has been reported by Chibi Magic.

----------------------------------------
Bug #10143: JSON module does not conform to RFC 7159
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/10143

* Author: Chibi Magic
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee: 
* Category: 
* Target version: 
* ruby -v: ruby 2.1.2p95 (2014-05-08 revision 45877) [x86_64-darwin13.0]
* Backport: 2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
From RFC 7159: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7159
~~~
   A JSON text is a serialized value.  Note that certain previous
   specifications of JSON constrained a JSON text to be an object or an
   array.
~~~

This means that the following should be valid:
`JSON.parse('1')
JSON.parse('this is a string')
`
However, they each currently return a JSON::ParserError:
`A JSON text must at least contain two octets!`
or
`757: unexpected token at 'this is a string'`
