I especially like the idea some sadist is serving JSON with left and right double quotation marks from Unicode. It’s the next level up from an api I used where no results was a null, one result was a single object on its own, and multiple results was an array of objects.
GraphQL man... the whole thing does this by design. Just in the last week I had to implement a custom retry function because the python requests one very reasonably doesn't consider a 200 status code to be an error.
Technically correct, as the request processed successfully and returned the outcome. TBH this is just one reason why HTTP is a bad RPC medium; for some reason we keep reinventing SOAP even though no-one liked it the first time around.
