I want to clean strings that are retrieved from a database.

I ran into this issue where a property value (a name from a database) had an embedded TAB character, and Chrome gave me an invalid TOKEN error while trying to load the JSON object.

So now, I went to http://www.json.org/ and on the side it has a specification. But I’m having trouble understanding how to write a cleanser using this spec:

string

  • “”
  • ” chars “

chars

  • char
  • char chars

char

  • any-Unicode-character-
    except-“-or–or-
    control-character
  • \”
  • \\
  • /
  • \b
  • \f
  • \n
  • \r
  • \t
  • \u four-hex-digits

Given a string, how can I “clean” it such that I conform to this spec?

Specifically, I am confused: does the spec allow TAB (0x0900) characters? If so, why did Chrome given an invalid TOKEN error?
