Re: Left and Right Quotation Marks

That's a good question about preserving them. From what I understand these
were copied and pasted from a word document or something (I've seen the
curly quotes there before).

I will find out. Preprocessing and replacing them is really going to add
quite a bit of overhead, so I hope they don't want that. We're talking
about hundreds of JSON documents an hour. Thanks guys!

Maybe I should clarify,

The curved quotes were part of the data.... Example:

{"data":"This is the data and “this is in curved quotes” "}

Your suspicion that these aren't in EBCDIC is mostly correct. (It's
not in the most common EBCDIC code pages. I know of at least one which
*does* have them: CCSID 1112.)

Do you need to preserve them? If you are allowed to "mangle" them,
then the simplest thing is probably to replace them with straight
quotes in preprocessing. If they must be preserved, you could replace
them with the Unicode hexadecimal escape sequences I mentioned earlier
("\u201c" and "\u201d", respectively). Of course, this relies on
whatever "downstream" consumer of the JSON being able to handle those
sequences.
