[CONTRIB-101] eof-value not working in clojure.contrib.json

Thu, 18 Nov 2010 17:07:04 -0600

The docs of read-json-from promise eof-error? and eof-value, but these fail to work. This is caused by lines 116-121: https://github.com/richhickey/clojure-contrib/blob/master/src/main/clojure/clojure/contrib/json.clj#L116-121

At EOF read returns -1, but evaluating (char -1) on the repl reveals that this does not work, and thus an exception is raised before eof-value could be returned.

This is easily fixed by checking if i is in a valid range, or at least not -1, by doing something like (and (not= i -1) (char i))
