Re^4: Can someone please write a *working* JSON module (Send money)

newSVpvn_utf8 sounds awesome!. Is there some simple way to detect invalid UTF-8 ?

I guess something, somewhere, knows this - since croak() is the bane of my existence right now: email subject lines which may or may not have been truncated somewhere are 100% guaranteed to spew invalid UTF-8 at *some* point.

Is there some way perl can auto-magically handle UTF-16 as well? e.g. (from the RFC): "... UTF-16 surrogate pair. So, for example, a string containing only the G clef character (U+1D11E) may be represented as "\uD834\uDD1E"." (those 4 bytes (and/or 12 characters) are also an example of why truncated text breaks everything I expect)

See Encode::Unicode for the translations between the various Unicode encodings. I think converting from UTF-16 to UTF-8 is merely a mathematical transformation between two encoding styles of the same number, so you can easily model that. I'm not sure how easy it is to determine whether a backslash-escaped sequence is UTF-8 or UTF-16, but maybe if it's just two characters, it's UTF-8.	[reply]
