IncompleteJSONError is not recognized for null and boolean values about ijson HOT 4 CLOSED

@harpener if I understand correctly, your concern is that the type of exception raised by the code is not what you expected, and therefore you can't recognize the particular problem of an incomplete JSON document, right?

You are right that the python backend doesn't recognise these cases properly, so yes, this can be improved. On the other hand this is the slowest backend; the others do raise IncompleteJSONError on these cases, so you might be better off using those anyway. I will still improve the python backend to detect these cases and raise the appropriate exception.

EDIT: almost all other backends raise an IncompleteJSONError exception. The yajl backend (which is deprecated) doesn't, but it won't be repaired either.

A fix for this is now on the master branch; now the python backend recognises incomplete JSON tokens like tru or nu as such and raises an IncompleteJSONError exception. A new version with this fix will be released to PyPI hopefully in the next day or so, but until then you can either install directly from GitHub or use a different backend.

ijson 3.1.4 is now available on PyPI

Thanks for the fix. I haven't even been able to import any of the yajl backends on local Windows or production Linux environments, so I can't say how they behave. But the performance is not that important for now.
