Before I go open an enhancement request, what do people think of the
idea that json.load() should return something more specific than
ValueError?
I've got some code that looks like
try:
response = requests.get(url)
except RequestException as ex:
logger.exception(ex)
return []
data = response.text
try:
events = json.loads(data)
except ValueError as ex:
logger.error("%s: %r", ex, data)
return []
This would be so much neater if json would return something I could
identify as a json error. It would all just collapse into:
try:
events = requests.get(url).json
except (RequestException, JSONDecodeError) as ex:
logger.exception(ex)
return []
We could make JSONDecodeError a subclass of ValueError so existing code
would continue to work.
