Fix no-unsafe-values not reporting JSON5 Infinity values.

What changes did you make? (Give an overview)

Added an Infinity visitor and regression tests for Infinity and -Infinity.

Related Issues

fixes #277

Is there anything you'd like reviewers to focus on?

+Infinity is intentionally omitted to match the existing 2e308/-2e308 coverage (which does not include +2e308).

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • JSON5 values of Infinity and -Infinity are now reported as unsafe numbers, helping identify unsupported numeric values.

• Tests

  • Added coverage to verify diagnostics and source locations for both Infinity variants.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The no-unsafe-values rule now reports JSON5 Infinity and -Infinity literals with unsafeNumber. Tests verify both diagnostics and complete source ranges.

Changes

Unsafe JSON5 value detection

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Infinity detection and validation src/rules/no-unsafe-values.js, tests/rules/no-unsafe-values.test.js	The rule reports Infinity values with unsafeNumber. Tests cover positive and negative Infinity literals and verify their full source ranges.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8d3b0

The rule adds diagnostics for Infinity and -Infinity, but +Infinity remains untested. This creates a bounded risk that one valid JSON5 spelling will not receive the intended unsafe-number diagnostic.

Add a regression case for +Infinity.

JSON5 permits +Infinity, but these tests cover only Infinity and -Infinity. Add a case that checks data.value and the complete source range, or document why this form is excluded.

Thanks for the PR, but I am not sure whether reporting Infinity is the right behavior for this rule.

Infinity and NaN are valid values according to the JSON5 specification:

https://spec.json5.org/#summary-of-features

The above values are parsed as intended by the json5 parser:

https://github.com/json5/json5/blob/main/test/parse.js#L170-L184

---

After this change, the rule message would be The number 'Infinity' will evaluate to Infinity., but reporting an error for using an Infinity value that the specification explicitly allows doesn't seem to make sense to me.

For example, 1e400 overflows to Infinity when parsed as a JavaScript Number, whereas an explicit JSON5 Infinity literal directly represents infinity. I think these two cases should be considered separately.

A standard JSON parser already throws an error when it encounters Infinity, so this additional check only applies to JSON5.

JSON.parse("Infinity"); // SyntaxError
JSON.parse(Infinity); // SyntaxError
JSON.parse("1e400"); // Infinity

So, I think adding test cases for Infinity and its variants to valid would make more sense, to ensure that not reporting these values in JSON5 mode is intentional.

[electrohyun]

Thank you for the review, @lumirlumir!

As you pointed out, an explicit JSON5 Infinity should be considered separately from a numeric literal that evaluates to Infinity due to overflow. I also agree that the current unsafeNumber message would not be appropriate in this case.

For this PR, I’ll remove the newly added reporting logic and instead add Infinity, +Infinity, and -Infinity as valid regression test cases.

---

Separately, I have one question to make sure I understand the intended scope of the rule.

Does interchange here refer only to environments that support the same JSON format, such as JSON5?

When I opened the issue, I interpreted this as a broader interchange concern because an explicit Infinity is valid in JSON5 but cannot be represented in standard JSON while preserving the same meaning.

If the rule is designed to evaluate safety within each dialect, I think it may be helpful to clarify in the documentation the distinction between an explicit Infinity and a numeric literal that evaluates to Infinity due to overflow.

Would it be helpful to discuss this in a separate issue?

---

Thank you again for pointing out the distinction I missed. I’ll update the PR by September 7.

[DMartens]

From the rule documentation:

JSON is widely used for data interchange between systems, but certain values can cause interoperability issues when transferred between different parsers and environments

I interpreted this as any value which could cause interoperability issues.
For example C does not have a standard concept of Infinity.
The safe way would be to add an option for this.

[electrohyun]

Thanks for the review, @DMartens!

I think it would be better to clarify the intended behavior before updating the implementation. I’ll hold off on the changes for now and wait for further thoughts.
