json string escapes

[sluramod]

Please fix a bug with string escapes. Use code published here
http://www.JSON.org/java/json_simple.zip as a reference.

Also, it would be nice to have JSONInt class or something similar.

Thank you,
Alexei

Would you mind describing the particular bug you have in mind?

Scott,

Here is the code I'm referring to:

public static String escape(String s){
if(s==null)
return null;
StringBuffer sb=new StringBuffer();
for(int i=0;i<s.length();i++){
char ch=s.charAt(i);
switch(ch){
case '"':
sb.append("\\\"");
break;
case '\\':
sb.append("\\\\");
break;
case '\b':
sb.append("\\b");
break;
case '\f':
sb.append("\\f");
break;
case '\n':
sb.append("\\n");
break;
case '\r':
sb.append("\\r");
break;
case '\t':
sb.append("\\t");
break;
case '/':
sb.append("\\/");
break;
default:
if(ch>='\u0000' && ch<='\u001F'){
String ss=Integer.toHexString(ch);
sb.append("\\u");
for(int k=0;k<4-ss.length();k++){
sb.append('0');
}
sb.append(ss.toUpperCase());
}
else{
sb.append(ch);
}
}
}//for
return sb.toString();
}

Strings with escaped characters aren't written out properly because
JSONString's toString() only replaces the character '\\' and not other
escaped characters like '\n', '\r', etc.

>From JSONString:
public String toString() {
// Backslashes and quotes must be escaped
String s = value;
// replaces \ with \\
s = s.replaceAll("\\\\", "\\\\\\\\");
// replaces " with \"
s = s.replaceAll("\\\"", "\\\\\"");
// wrap the result in quotes
return "\"" + s + "\"";
}

Thanks, guys.  We'll get right on this.
