JsonParseException : Illegal unquoted character ((CTRL-CHAR, code 10)


This can happen if you have a newline (or other control character) in a JSON string literal.

{"foo": "barbaz"}

If you are the one producing the data, replace actual newlines with escaped ones "\\n" when creating your string literals.

{"foo": "bar\nbaz"}


Using

mapper.configure(    JsonReadFeature.ALLOW_UNESCAPED_CONTROL_CHARS.mappedFeature(),     true);

See javadoc:

/** * Feature that determines whether parser will allow * JSON Strings to contain unescaped control characters * (ASCII characters with value less than 32, including * tab and line feed characters) or not. * If feature is set false, an exception is thrown if such a * character is encountered. *<p> * Since JSON specification requires quoting for all control characters, * this is a non-standard feature, and as such disabled by default. */

Old option JsonParser.Feature.ALLOW_UNQUOTED_CONTROL_CHARS was deprecated since 2.10.

On Salesforce platform this error is caused by /, the solution is to escape these as //.
