Description Marcus Better CLA 2010-06-29 08:59:24 EDT 
org.eclipse.jetty.util.ajax.JSON produces invalid JSON for strings containing the null characeter U+0000. It puts a byte with numeric value 0 in the string, but this is not allowed in JSON according to RFC 4627. The resulting JSON is not compatible with other parsers, for example WebKit's JSON.parse() will barf on it.

test case

This Groovy script demonstrates the bug and compares with the Jackson generator which quotes the null byte correctly.
