v2.0.1

Changelog

v2.0.1 — 2026-09-03

Fixed

• Legacy Bedrock JSON containing Windows-1252 bytes is now converted to valid
  UTF-8 before JSON validation.
• Raw Minecraft § formatting bytes no longer make manifests fail or become
  Unicode replacement characters.
• Mixed files keep their already-valid UTF-8 sequences while only invalid
  single bytes are repaired.
• Existing recovery for comments, trailing commas, control bytes, BOMs, and
  surrounding non-JSON data remains unchanged.

Compatibility

• No public API changes.
• Module path remains github.com/SkaticNET/bedrock-jsonfix/v2.

Validation

• go test ./... -count=1
• go vet ./...
• go build ./...

v2.0.0

Changelog

v2.0.0 — 2026-08-25

• Breaking: the module path is now
  github.com/SkaticNET/bedrock-jsonfix/v2.
• The public API is Fix([]byte) ([]byte, error).
• Bedrock JSON repairs cover BOMs, comments, trailing commas, control bytes,
  and surrounding non-JSON data.
• The fixer preserves JSON member spelling and source ordering while producing
  valid JSON.

v1.2.2

Changelog

v1.2.2 — 2026-08-25

• Reduced the public API to Fix([]byte) ([]byte, error).
• Kept the Bedrock JSON repairs for BOMs, comments, trailing commas, control
  bytes, and surrounding non-JSON data.
• Removed configurable parser modes, reports, reader helpers, CLI tools, and
  duplicate examples.
• Preserved JSON member spelling and source ordering while producing valid JSON.

v1.2.0

Changes

• Raised the default safety limits to 128 MiB input and 512 MiB output for larger Bedrock resource pack JSON files.
• Treat block comments as whitespace so cleanup cannot merge adjacent JSON tokens.
• Make FixReader check context cancellation while reading chunked input.
• Avoid copying input that is already valid UTF-8.
• Added benchmarks and an optional compatibility test for Mojang's bedrock-samples resource pack JSON files.

Validation

• go test ./... -count=1
• go vet ./...
• BEDROCK_SAMPLES_RESOURCE_PACK_DIR=<bedrock-samples>/resource_pack go test ./bedrockjsonfix -run TestOfficialBedrockSamplesResourcePackJSON -count=1
• go test ./bedrockjsonfix -run ^$ -bench BenchmarkFixBytes -benchmem -benchtime=100ms

v1.1.0

Full Changelog: v1.0.0...v1.1.0

Changelog v1.1.0

Added

• Added configurable root scan behavior through RootPolicy.
• Added RootScanMaxCandidates to limit the number of root candidates evaluated during recovery.
• Added WrongStartMaxOffset to control how far the parser may search for a valid JSON root after leading invalid data.
• Added RootValidator callback support, allowing applications to validate or reject recovered root candidates.
• Added new tests covering root scanning, multiple root candidates, leading junk handling, and invalid document scenarios.

Improved

• Improved JSON recovery logic to provide more predictable and controllable root selection.
• Reduced the risk of selecting an unintended JSON object or array when malformed data exists before the actual document.
• Enhanced recovery behavior for files containing leading junk bytes or corrupted prefixes.

Fixed

• Fixed TrimmedLeadingJunkBytes reporting when root scanning selects a later candidate.
• Fixed root scan accounting to correctly reflect the amount of discarded leading data.
• Improved consistency of recovery results across malformed JSON inputs.

Compatibility

• No API-breaking changes for existing users.
• Applications relying on the previous aggressive root scanning behavior may wish to explicitly use RootPolicyScanBestEffort to preserve the old behavior.
