json gem upgrade to 2.3.0
What does this MR do?
This upgrades the json
gem to 2.3.0
, which changes how it handles certain forms of data. This also adds support for a legacy_mode
flag when parsing, which can be used to handle expectations that use the old form of parsing. These flags have already been added to known problem areas that cause the specs to fail.
The functionality of legacy_mode
can be disabled by toggling the json_wrapper_legacy_mode
feature flag.
