Did you read the post?

The JSON standard(s) are very simple. But in practice this simplicity leads to a lot of edge cases. Very deeply nested structures, numbers that run on to infinity. The point of this post is testing various parsers against these malicious structures.

"In conclusion, JSON is not a data format you can rely on blindly." - that suggests the format is bad when it's highlighting problems with the parsers. I see it like saying "Plain text is a bad format because notepad bails on large files"

    In conclusion, NOUN1 is not a NOUN2 you can rely on blindly
This is true for everything. I don't see why this is evidence of anything. If you rely on any system blindly you are doing something wrong.
