Are multi-line strings allowed in JSON?

Question

Is it possible to have multi-line strings in JSON?

It\'s mostly for visual comfort so I suppose I can just turn word wrap on in my editor, but I\'m just kinda curious

Answer 1

Try this, it also handles the single quote which is failed to parse by JSON.parse() method and also supports the UTF-8 character code.

    parseJSON = function() {
        var data = {};
        var reader = new FileReader();
        reader.onload = function() {
            try {
                data = JSON.parse(reader.result.replace(/'/g, "\""));
            } catch (ex) {
                console.log('error' + ex);
            }
        };
        reader.readAsText(fileSelector_test[0].files[0], 'utf-8');
}
