jQuery 1.4 fails with JSON on Chrome

[ckruse]

jQuery 1.4 throws a parse error with json AJAX requests; same JSON with Firefox can be parsed without problems. After a bit of hacking it seems that the JSON syntax check in httpData fails:

if (/^{[\],:{}\s]*$/.test(data.replace(/
(?:["
\/bfnrt]|u[0-9a-fA-F]{4})/g, "@")}

.replace(/"[^{"
\n\r]*"|true|false|null?\d+(?:\.\d*)?(?:[eE][+\-]?\d+)?/g, "]")}

.replace(/(?:^{|:|,)(?:\s*\[)+/g, ""))) {}

When I disable the check with „if(true

…” everything works like a charm. Maybe a RegExp problem with Chrome?

Dammit, wiki code parser. Sorry.

When I disable the check with „if(true | | …”

The check is correct, perhaps the app creating the JSON is creating invalid JSON?

If you want to pursue this, please reopen with more information including a sample of the trouble-making JSON.
