cursedjson

A drop-in replacement for encoding/json when you absolutely, positively need to decode JSON files that contain Infinity, -Infinity and NaN.

This is useful for when you're interfacing with a brain dead system that uses json.dump() in Python without setting allow_nan=False. Because by default, it will be non-compliant with the JSON RFC that Go follows.

Fuck JSON, by the way.

Usage

import "github.com/q3k/cursedjson"

t := struct {
    ExampleInfinity  float64 `json:"infinity"`
    ExampleNInfinity float64 `json:"ninfinity"`
    ExampleNaN       float64 `json:"nan"`
}{}

err := Unmarshal([]byte{`{"infinity": Infinity, "ninfinity": -Infinity, "nan": NaN}`}, &t)
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

fmt.Printf("%+v\n", t)
