[issue13212] json library is decoding/encoding when it should not

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettinger at gmail.com> added the comment:

I'm thinking that we should offer a strict-option (off by default) and leave it at that.  No need to break existing code.   AFAICT, the OP is the only one to have had problems with this in-practice (the JSON module or its ancestor simplejson has been around for a long time).

Am marking this as a high priority but want to leave it open for a good while to get more comments before taking any action.
