Strange behavior with comment and parentheses

[vdeville]

Hello,

Thanks for your lib, she is very useful.
I work on an project where the json is very dirty and i have one problem when comment is after a line with a parenthesis.

Sample:

{
"total_count" : 1,
"pos" : 0,
"rows":[
{
  "id" : "111111",
  "data" : [
     "*",
     "1111",
     "<a )'></a>"
     // comment 1
   ]
}
]
	
}

If you remove the line // comment 1 the lib validate the json OR if you remove the parenthesis in line "<a )'></a>" -> "<a '></a>" is work too

Do you have any idea workaround ? Maybe is an bug ?

Thanks

Tmp fix: text.replaceAll('" //', '" ,//'), in this case jsonrepair handle properly the comment and remove it

Thanks for reporting, good to hear you like the library!

I could minimize the JSON example to this:

[ 
  ")"
  // comment 1
]

I'll look into it. It is probably some check to see if the string is followed by a valid delimiter (comma or array end) but not reckoning with comments in between or so.

Fixed now in v3.5.1
