json2xml 7.1.1

json2xml 7.1.1

Released 2026-09-23.

Highlights

• Reader errors now carry the JSON decoder's line and column, so json2xml-py says where a document breaks: Invalid JSON File: Expecting ',' delimiter: line 372 column 3 (char 8920).
• A UTF-8 byte order mark, as written by PowerShell and Notepad, no longer makes file, URL, string, or stdin input fail as invalid JSON.
• The test suite type-checks cleanly under ty 0.0.83.

Behaviour changes and migration guidance

• JSONReadError, StringReadError, and URLReadError messages keep their existing prefixes and append the decoder message after a colon. Callers matching on the prefix are unaffected; callers comparing whole messages should match on the prefix.
• A leading U+FEFF in string input is dropped before parsing. No other input handling changed.
