Parser doesn't raise exception on space delimited values in JSON arrays and objects about json-simple

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Yes, JSON.simple has a broader allowed inputs other than the spec. That is not a
violation of the spec (see
http://code.google.com/p/json-simple/wiki/DecodingExamples#Notes_-_Multithreadin
g_and_extensions
and relevant comments).

But it's useful to add a "strict" mode to the parser to support the validation 
of inputs.

Thanks.

I thank you for this clarification. I've been using JSON.simple for quite some 
time
and only now I did find out about this special behaviour. I discovered the 
"bug" when
I wrote a small client app for querying and testing JSON-RPC 2.0 servers. There 
I use
the library to validate and parse JSON input directly by the user.

Anyhow, while it would be nice to have a strict mode, I can also happily live 
with this.
