[issue13212] json library is decoding/encoding when it should not

[Chris Rebert]

Chris Rebert added the comment:

Note that, per the new JSON RFC 7159 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7159 ), top-level non-collection values are now de-jure permissible in JSON:

> Appendix A.  Changes from RFC 4627
>    o  Changed the definition of "JSON text" so that it can be any JSON
>       value, removing the constraint that it be an object or array.
