Thanks for the PR, but I am not sure whether reporting Infinity is the right behavior for this rule.
Infinity and NaN are valid values according to the JSON5 specification:
https://spec.json5.org/#summary-of-features
The above values are parsed as intended by the json5 parser:
https://github.com/json5/json5/blob/main/test/parse.js#L170-L184
After this change, the rule message would be The number 'Infinity' will evaluate to Infinity., but reporting an error for using an Infinity value that the specification explicitly allows doesn't seem to make sense to me.
For example, 1e400 overflows to Infinity when parsed as a JavaScript Number, whereas an explicit JSON5 Infinity literal directly represents infinity. I think these two cases should be considered separately.
A standard JSON parser already throws an error when it encounters Infinity, so this additional check only applies to JSON5.
JSON.parse("Infinity"); // SyntaxError
JSON.parse(Infinity); // SyntaxError
JSON.parse("1e400"); // InfinitySo, I think adding test cases for Infinity and its variants to valid would make more sense, to ensure that not reporting these values in JSON5 mode is intentional.

Thank you for the review, @lumirlumir! As you pointed out, an explicit JSON5 Infinity should be considered separately from a numeric literal that evaluates to For this PR, I’ll remove the newly added reporting logic and instead add Separately, I have one question to make sure I understand the intended scope of the rule.
When I opened the issue, I interpreted this as a broader interchange concern because an explicit Infinity is valid in JSON5 but cannot be represented in standard JSON while preserving the same meaning. If the rule is designed to evaluate safety within each dialect, I think it may be helpful to clarify in the documentation the distinction between an explicit Infinity and a numeric literal that evaluates to Infinity due to overflow. Would it be helpful to discuss this in a separate issue? Thank you again for pointing out the distinction I missed. |

From the rule documentation:
I interpreted this as any value which could cause interoperability issues. |

Thanks for the review, @DMartens! I think it would be better to clarify the intended behavior before updating the implementation. I’ll hold off on the changes for now and wait for further thoughts. |

I interpreted this as any value which could cause interoperability issues.
For example C does not have a standard concept of Infinity.
The safe way would be to add an option for this.
After reviewing the current C libraries and Rust implementation, I found that all of them support positive and negative Infinity and NaN.
Rust:
let positive = f64::INFINITY;
let negative = f64::NEG_INFINITY;
let nan = f64::NAN;
assert!(positive.is_infinite());
assert!(nan.is_nan());C99:
#include <math.h>
int main(void) {
float positive = INFINITY;
float negative = -INFINITY;
int result = isinf(positive);
int negative_result = isinf(negative);
return 0;
}Also, the C JSON library yyjson supports positive and negative Infinity and NaN.
https://github.com/ibireme/yyjson/blob/master/doc/API.md#yyjson_read_json5
So, I think interoperability issues with JSON5 data containing Infinity or NaN only arise when people use an inappropriate parser to exchange the data.
(As far as I know, Rust’s f64 and C’s double (on IEEE 754 implementations) can also represent infinity, just like JavaScript’s Number: https://tc39.es/ecma262/multipage/ecmascript-data-types-and-values.html#sec-ecmascript-language-types-number-type)
If the rule is designed to evaluate safety within each dialect, I think it may be helpful to clarify in the documentation the distinction between an explicit Infinity and a numeric literal that evaluates to Infinity due to overflow.
So, I think it would be helpful to mention this rule’s limitations in the documentation and tests, making it clear that explicitly reporting Infinity and NaN is outside the scope of this rule and that an appropriate JSON5 parser will handle these values correctly, even when implemented in another language such as C or Rust.

I put it together to provide something concrete to review, and I’d appreciate any feedback, particularly on the documentation wording and PR title. |

| This rule warns on values that are unsafe for interchange, such as strings with unmatched [surrogates](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-16), numbers that evaluate to Infinity, numbers that evaluate to zero unintentionally, numbers that look like integers but are too large, and [subnormal numbers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnormal_number). | ||

| For JSON5, this rule does not report explicit `Infinity` and `NaN` values because the specification defines how they are interpreted. These values differ from numeric literals such as `1e400`, which evaluate to `Infinity` because they exceed JavaScript's number range. |

Just a small suggestion to make the documentation clearer, since we’re discussing the case that is intentionally not reported and linking to the specification. Otherwise, LGTM.

Hi! Thank you for the review. I updated the PR description to clarify the scope of my AI use and am noting the update here as well. My earlier disclosures focused on AI material included in the submitted work. This update also documents AI assistance that did not generate the submitted changes. For this PR, I wrote the review responses and made the technical decisions myself. I did use AI to check the English grammar in those responses, so I have included that in the disclosure. Thanks again! |
