[erlang-questions] No JSON/MAPS interoperability in 17.0?

[Anthony Ramine]

What about the utter lack of proper specifications around JSON? The fact that you always have to think about where the JSON will be injected?

What about a JSON-encoded string containing "</script>", should that be avoided by Erlang’s builtin parser? What about "]]>"? What about the two characters that are accepted in JSON but not in JavaScript?

Just because other languages include such a thing doesn’t mean Erlang should too. If diversity is not a reason to reject it, other languages providing it is not a reason to include it either.
