\u2029 will break down 'vm'

Run following code, will raise an Error: "Unexpected token ILLEGAL"
require("vm").runInThisContext("var b = '\u2029' ")

I guess you have to escape the backslash so it stays as-is in the string passed to runInThisContext

You could get the same error with simple \n in place of \u2029. That's because they both are line terminators. See good article http://timelessrepo.com/json-isnt-a-javascript-subset

Yes. Thanks a lot.
This is exactly what I need. And I do think JSON is a subset of javascript.
Now I get it, thanks.
