I have no opinion about the content of this blog post, but it's the first one I've seen with a minimap alongside it: https://mcyoung.xyz/2024/12/10/json-sucks/ (also the headings are wild.)

@nedbat huh, the case of float("inf") producing unambiguously-wrong JSON is bizarre. Historical artifact of supporting web applications sending stuff to JS?

The only filed bug I can find about it¹ seems to be more concerned with being able to serialize NaN to null.

The unfortunately-named allow_nan parameter at least turns that into an exception, but I can't recall the last time I saw code that cared to set it.

@nedbat I will say that protobuf on the inside and json on the outside is a good general comms strategy.

Don't get me started on JSON schema...

@nedbat A minimap? I don't see one on mobile, even if I turn on "request desktop site" in my browser. What does it look like?

@mgedmin @nedbat I don't see it on desktop either... until I make my browser window very wide

like those weirdos who always maximise the window 😂
