When parsing JSON values from an input stream like this

using JSON

while !eof(stdin)
  JSON.parse(stdin)
end

depending on the type of a value in the input, parsing either succeeds or fails.

For example, if the code above is in parse.jl, and file 1.in contains just 5 (no spaces before or after the number), this works:

$ julia parse.jl < 1.in

But if 2.in contains [5] instead (no spaces before or after the list), then there is an error:

$ julia parse.jl < 2.in
ERROR: LoadError: Unexpected end of input
