Emoji Surrogate support

[c-bik]

Hi,
I am trying to encode maps with emoji surrogate pairs.
But when I am attempting:

jsx:encode(#{emoji => <<"\uXXXX\uXXXX">>}).
% The result is
<<"{\"emoji\":\"\\uXXXX\\uXXXX\"}">>

In which way should I construct the map so that "\uXXXX are not escaped again (like "\\uXXXX")?

you can use the dirty_strings option to not escape strings

this looks like maybe a bug in the string escaping however. i will need to take a closer look

hi @talentdeficit, Is there an update on this issue ?

jsx:encode(#{emoji => <<"\uXXXX\uXXXX">>}).

You are trying to do a strange/wrong thing. There can be no surrogates in utf-8 binaries.
jsx works correctly.

Ɛ> jsx:encode(#{ <<"rabbit">> => <<"\x{1f407}"/utf8>> }, [uescape]).      
<<"{\"rabbit\":\"\\ud83d\\udc07\"}">>

Agree!

@llelf is this symmetric? (no erl vm at hand atm to check).
What I mean is : if the following is also true:

> > #{ <<"rabbit">> => <<"\x{1f407}"/utf8>> } = jsx:decode(<<"{\"rabbit\":\"\\ud83d\\udc07\"}"/utf8>>, [???]).
