@emilazy:matrix.orgemily(and I like XML!)11:25:46
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyI really don't think so. the JSON iceberg is not the Nix iceberg11:27:26
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilya warning about input you don't control is not actionable or going to go anywhere, unless it's a truly unfixable interoperability problem11:28:29
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyit's unlikely JSON documents people produce solely for consumption in Nix will have duplicate keys because most language APIs won't do that11:29:07
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyLix accepting escaped NUL codepoints in JSON that correctly-written Nixpkgs library functions violate their contract on is far more likely to cause interoperability issues than duplicate keys tbh11:30:11
@emilazy:matrix.orgemily (and that's a case where there actually is current and historical divergence, so a warning would be much more justifiable there...) 11:30:58
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyinteresting to see simd-json diverge, though it also has several correctness issues open on GitHub, some from years ago 😅11:34:00
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilywonder if they somehow get better perf from that result or something11:34:38
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyare you sure it's not storing both values in a parse tree type form and the lookup is just terminating on the first one actually?11:35:18
@coca162:matrix.orgCocaMy hunch was that simd-json can get the earliest acceptable value and then stop parsing, at least with the tape Value, but I would have to see11:35:49
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyoh I guess it's the same serde type(?)11:36:05
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyah I see11:36:08
@coca162:matrix.orgCocaits not the same serde type to be clear tho11:36:30
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilyyeah if it's looking up from a string rather than parsing into a full DOM that makes sense11:36:31
