Yajl::ParseError: lexical error: invalid character inside string. about vkontakte_api HOT 3 CLOSED

Hello.

Thanks, I was just searching for the API method causing this error. @nemilya found out that VK sometimes returns JSON that Yajl cannot parse. So I'll use another parser in 1.0 version of vkontakte_api which I'm working on currently.

Just checked several parsers with this task, and only Oj succeeded, though it doesn't symbolize keys.

Do you need a quick fix for that? I don't think I'll release 1.0 in a few days so I can do a 0.3 with Oj dependency.

from vkontakte_api.

I've fixed the problem in 1.0 branch (by switching to Oj parser), so if you need it right now you can simply put the following in your Gemfile:

# Gemfile
gem 'vkontakte_api', github: '7even/vkontakte_api', branch: '1.0'

from vkontakte_api.

Thanks. It's works for me.
