> We check our configs for proper JSON formatting, but we don't check for special characters.  It would be nice to check and automatically filter them out.  The command in Linux that works for this is:
> tr -cd '\11\12\40-\176' < myfile1 > myfile2
> We need to execute this as a part of our script to filter them out automatically.  I can see a lot of people being tripped up by this.  Every time you validate a JSON against a linter and then paste it back into VI these characters come in somehow.
