Subject: [ruby-core:66110] [ruby-trunk - Bug #10143] JSON module does not	conform to RFC 7159

Issue #10143 has been updated by Jack Thorne.


I cannot find another linter that would accept this as input. example: http://www.jslint.com
I can however see that there are more examples of values in the RFC http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7159#section-13.
If I am reading this correctly strings, numbers and booleans can be passed.

So all the following should be valid.
JSON.parse('1')
JSON.parse('this is a string')
JSON.parse(42)
JSON.parse(true)

----------------------------------------
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'`
