Braces inside strings in VRCJSON can fail to deserialize.
vavassor
VRChat SDK version 3.2.0
Newtonsoft Json version 2.0.2
VRCJson.TryDeserializeFromJson("{\"key\":{\"nestedKey\":\"{\"}}", out DataToken token)
returns false. Braces are valid inside a string value in JSON, so it should return true.Log In

Still an issue.

you can work around by encoding them

Merged in a post:
JSON with closing-bracket inside string fails to decode properly
Haxy
Decoding a block of json that contains a closing brace in one of the lower layers results in very broken loading behaviour where anything previously in the file is ignored, and anything after the current layer is ignored
Anything past the closing bracket and before the next layer in the json is decoded and returned as wrongfully layered data
Repro:
[[["1","2","3"],["foo","]bar","baz"]],["a","b","c"]]
String jsonDecoderGoBang = "[[[\"1\",\"2\",\"3\"],[\"foo\",\"]bar\",\"baz\"]],[\"a\",\"b\",\"c\"]]";
var success = VRCJson.TryDeserializeFromJson(jsonDecoderGoBang, out DataToken testData);
if (!success)
{
Debug.LogError("Failed to deserialize json "+testData.Error);
}
if (testData.TokenType == TokenType.DataDictionary)
{
Debug.Log($"Successfully deserialized as a dictionary with {testData.DataDictionary.Count} items.");
}
else if (testData.TokenType == TokenType.DataList)
{
Debug.Log($"Successfully deserialized as a list with {testData.DataList.Count} items.");
}
Successfully deserialized as a list with 1 items.

Oddly, balanced braces work perfectly fine. For example,
VRCJson.TryDeserializeFromJson("{\"key\":{\"nestedKey\":\"{{}}{{{}}}\"}}", out DataToken token)
returns true.vavassor
The reason I came across this is I was making a localization file format for a world. In order to do interpolation/string formatting, I was writing things like "Remove {{ playerName }} from team?" And a few times I mistyped the braces, which caused the whole translation file to fail to load.
