Description

The JsonSlurper does not appear to handle backslash characters () even if they have been properly escaped.

Using this sample pieced together from the Groovy 1.8.0 Release Notes:

import groovy.json.*

def json = new JsonBuilder()

json.person {
    name "Guill\\aume"
    age 33
    pets "Hector", "Felix"
}

def jsonstring = json.toString()
println jsonstring

def slurper = new JsonSlurper()
def doc = slurper.parseText(jsonstring)

println doc

$ groovy json.groovy

{"person":{"name":"Guill\\aume","age":33,"pets":["Hector","Felix"]}}
Caught: groovy.json.JsonException: Expected a value on line: 1, column: 69.
But got an unterminated object.
        at json.run(json.groovy:15)

Have tried this with 1.8.0, 1.8.1 Snapshot (2011-06-13), 1.9.0 Snapshot (2011-06-13)
