Regression Node 24.0.0+: parsing JSONL with U+2028 (line separator)/ U+2029 (paragraph separator)

Version

node v24.0.0+

What steps will reproduce the bug?

• Open a Node.js shell session (version 24.x or later).
• Run JSON.parse('{"text":"Hello
World"}') (The character between “Hello” and “World” is U+2028 (line separator). You can also use U+2029 (paragraph separator) instead.)

which will return with a Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ...

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

Always

What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?

Summary

Note: V8's "Subsume JSON" documentation explicitly discusses making these code points processable in JavaScript string literals (https://v8.dev/features/subsume-json). Given that, this change is surprising and breaks existing production pipelines.

What do you see instead?

After upgrading to Node v24.x, JSON.parse() now throws a SyntaxError when parsing JSON text that contains literal U+2028 (line separator) or U+2029 (paragraph separator) inside a string value. The same input parsed successfully on Node v23.x. This looks like a regression or at least an undocumented behaviour change in Node/V8.

Inizia riproducendo l’esempio di JSON.parse su Node v24 e confrontalo con Node v23, concentrandoti sul percorso di parsing di JSON e sulla gestione dei letterali U+2028 e U+2029 all’interno delle stringhe. L’issue non menziona file sorgente o test, quindi traccia il punto di ingresso rilevante del runtime o di V8 e aggiungi una copertura che dimostri che l’input viene analizzato correttamente senza modificare altri comportamenti di JSON.
