It is possible for a JSON value that incorporates backslashes and colons to incorrectly match a pattern in the
:name
state. In certain situations, this can cause the lexing of a JSON file to hang indefinitely.This commit adds
\\
to the excluded character class in the:name
state. This causes such strings to instead be matched in the:value
state.This fixes #1330.
