org.json.JSONException: Unterminated string at 737 [character 738 line 1]

Question

I'm using the org.json.JSONObject to parse some json being sent to my servlet by an iphone. I was stuck for a while by why I would be getting an error message at all. The error message was:

org.json.JSONException: Unterminated string at 737 [character 738 line 1]

After printing out what I received, I see that the string sent was indeed cut short and stopped mid-json. I can't understand why it would be cut short. There's no limit on String size is there (or at least only a memory limit surely).

Has anyone else had thins error?

Cheers

Joe

json work well with \n but if you have any other special charachters in your meesage like \ , @ , & , # etc.. first convert them into their respective HEX value and then send your message.
