Following up on bug 22310 http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=22310
I enabled the use of UTF8 in the FPC JSON support.
The constructors of the JSON parser/scanner now accept an
extra argument
UseUTF8 which tells them to convert JSON strings to UTF8, not
the system codepage.
I don't understand why you want to keep buggy behavior for backwards
compatibility.
Because the old behaviour is not "buggy".
It simply did not support Unicode, and does the next best thing,
in casu: it transforms to the system codepage.
A car without ABS and SAT-Nav is not buggy.
It just doesn't support features which are nowadays called standard.
You can perfectly drive it.
Just as Unicode is nowadays standard, N years ago, it was not.
Since backwards compatibility is very important, we must offer the option.
