When the JSON input is truncated in the middle of a structural element (e.g., an object or array that is opened but never closed, such as '{"a":[1,2'), Get shall return a parse-related error and shall not panic.

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 in the middle of a structural element (e.g., an object or array that is opened but never closed, such as '{"a":[1,2'), Get shall return a parse-related error and shall not panic.

FRETish formula
the parser shall always satisfy !input_is_truncated_mid_structure | returns_error_for_truncated_mid_structure

Rationale & tags

Why this requirement exists, and how it is categorised.

Truncated mid-structure input exercises blockEnd returning -1, which is behaviorally distinct from truncated-at-value-boundary where tokenEnd returns len(data).

Worst case if violatedCritical

Get on {"a":[1,2 (unclosed array) drives the recursion in findKeyStart past EOF; an unchecked data[i] dereference in the value-offset read panics with index-out-of-range.

NameTypeDirectionDescription
input_is_truncated_mid_structureTrue when the JSON input is truncated in the middle of a structural element where an object or array is opened but never closed.
returns_error_for_truncated_mid_structureTrue when Get returns a parse-related error for input truncated mid-structure, without panicking.
