Root Cause

The JSON input contains a character that is not valid at the beginning of a value, such as a letter outside of a string.

generic

中文

JSON输入包含在值开始处无效的字符，例如字符串之外的字母。

Workarounds

  1. 85% success 
    if err := json.Unmarshal(data, &v); err != nil {
    log.Printf("Invalid JSON: %v", err)
}
  2. 70% success 
    Use a JSON parser that is more lenient, like jsoniter.

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 70% fail

    Without knowing the correct replacement, data corruption may occur.

  2. 90% fail

    The JSON is malformed; continuing will produce incorrect results.
