Wrote my own JSON parser (https://github.com/MJPA/SimpleJSON) a while ago... not sure how it's a minefield unless I'm missing something?
hang:
y_number_huge_exp.json
segfault:
n_structure_100000_opening_arrays.json
n_structure_open_array_object.json
fail:
n_number_then_00.json
n_string_unescaped_tab.json
n_structure_capitalized_True.json
Was going to run the tests myself later but needed a box with python3 on it!
The JSON standard(s) are very simple. But in practice this simplicity leads to a lot of edge cases. Very deeply nested structures, numbers that run on to infinity. The point of this post is testing various parsers against these malicious structures.

In conclusion, NOUN1 is not a NOUN2 you can rely on blindly
This is true for everything. I don't see why this is evidence of anything. If you rely on any system blindly you are doing something wrong.
