Kotlin

Changes, behavior

JsonPointer

  • Handling of "orphan" tildes (~ not part of ~0 or ~1 escape sequence) changed:
    • #1361: JsonPointer parsing of '~' not followed by "0" or "1" unexpected
    • NOTE: use of such "orphan" tildes is not (well) covered by JSON Pointer specs so expected handling is not defined.
    • Old behavior used ~ as "general escape", i.e. skipped ~ and included following character
    • New behavior feels more expected: unpaired ~ will simply be included as-is

Major focus area(s)

Most wanted Features to implement
