[New-bugs-announce] [issue38751] Document maximum JSON depth or remove it.

[Борис Верховский]

New submission from Борис Верховский <boris.verk at gmail.com>:

import json

foo = {}

for i in range(1000):
    json.dumps(foo)
    print(i)
    foo = {'bar': foo}


Will error at 994. At a minimum this magic number should be documented, but it would be better if the json library could handle arbitrarily nested JSON or have a configurable limit.
