JSON and the Null Character

I've been working with WebSockets lately and have been attempting at porting them across various applications.  Well, everything has been fine and dandy, until I bothered to get to the HTML5 version of our application (or rather, the future of it).

For some reason, I kept getting "invalid_token" or "invalid token" with no trace of any other information.

Turns out, C# and the WebSocket were appending \0 at the end of the data.  D'oh!

The simple fix for this (when you're having issues with JSON.parse) is to change your code from:

var jsonObject = JSON.parse(jsonEncodedString);

to

var jsonObject = JSON.parse(jsonEncodedString.replace(/\0/g, ""));

With that, your code should hopefully work!  If not, there's always http://jsonlint.com/ to attempt to validate your JSON.
