New submission from Matthew Woodcraft <matt...@woodcraft.me.uk>: The documentation for json.load() and json.loads() says:
« If the data being deserialized is not a valid JSON document, a JSONDecodeError will be raised. » But this is not currently entirely true: if the data is provided in bytes form and is not properly encoded in one of the three accepted encodings, UnicodeDecodeError is raised instead. (I have no opinion on whether the documentation or the behaviour should be changed.) ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 387780 nosy: mattheww priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: json.load() can raise UnicodeDecodeError, but this is not documented type: behavior versions: Python 3.10, Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43340> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
