Why JSON does not work the same way in every technology

The article at Dochia's blog tackles a frequently overlooked topic concerning JSON handling. The author, Jacob Slater, begins with a critique of popular interpretations of JSON, highlighting the differences between what can be considered 'true' JSON and what often appears in practice. While JSON is correctly defined in its documentation, many applications and libraries frequently introduce their own modifications or extensions that can lead to errors. Jacob provides examples where various pragmatic approaches to processing JSON can lead to difficulties and misunderstandings. He strongly encourages adherence to standards to avoid potential issues down the line, paying particular attention to data and their formats. By pointing out the most important aspects, he brings readers' attention to the fact that 'JSON' does not always mean what we think it does.
