When the JSON input is truncated at a value boundary (e.g., the value token ends at EOF with no closing delimiter such as '{"a":1' with no closing brace), Get shall return a parse-related error or not-found result and shall not panic or use an out-of-bounds index.

Specification

The requirement exactly as authored — its complete prose text and, where present, the formal FRETish sentence it compiles to.

Description

When the JSON input is truncated at a value boundary (e.g., the value token ends at EOF with no closing delimiter such as '{"a":1' with no closing brace), Get shall return a parse-related error or not-found result and shall not panic or use an out-of-bounds index.

FRETish formula
the parser shall always satisfy !input_is_truncated_at_value_boundary | returns_error_for_truncated_value_boundary

Rationale & tags

Why this requirement exists, and how it is categorised.

PR #280 demonstrated that tokenEnd returns len(data) as a sentinel when no delimiter is found, and callers that use this sentinel as an array index without bounds checking will panic. This obligation class must be modeled explicitly.

Obligations

What this requirement must witness to be considered satisfied — the required evidence, and the tests that discharge each one.

Worst case if violatedCritical

Get on {"a":1 (no closing brace) drives tokenEnd to return len(data); an unguarded data[end+1] dereference or array-index use of the sentinel panics with index-out-of-range.

Variables

NameTypeDirectionDescription
input_is_truncated_at_value_boundaryTrue when the JSON input is truncated at a value boundary where the value token ends at EOF with no closing delimiter (e.g., '{"a":1' with no closing brace).
returns_error_for_truncated_value_boundaryTrue when Get returns a parse-related error or not-found result for input truncated at a value boundary, without panicking.
