The following JSON files contain invalid JSON (per RFC 8259) and shouldn’t be accepted by the parser, but Roblox studio does not return a Lua error when they are passed to HttpService:JSONDecode and accepts them.

Expected result: Lua error - Not valid JSON.
Actual result: No error, table returned.

multidigit_number_then_00.json (4 Bytes)
structure_incomplete_UTF8_BOM.json (4 Bytes)
