Description

If we receive wrong information (e.g. an illegal Base64 encoded byte[]) then we currently throw an IllegalArgumentException.

The following behaviour is defined in the specifications:

According to the JSON-B spec we should throw a JsonbException

If native JSON-P is being used we should throw a JsonParsingException
