Rejects valid JSON

[zmagickap]

I have a block of JSON that passes validation at https://jsonlint.com:

{
"cmd": "alertTriggerUpdate",
"success": "OK",
"resultcode": 200,
"result": {
"alertID": "CVCQ9S0EHE",
"alertType": "Scan",
"alertDesc": "Scan",
"alertLongDesc": "Triggered by a Portfolio Scan",
"sym": "CLNY",
"timeStamp": "2020-08-19T23:33:57.144",
"triggerValue": 2.79,
"description": "Alert "GRGSignal 3" on CLNY Scan "GRG Signal Scan"\r\nCrossover=2.78&Bottom=2.78",
"alertName": "GRGSignal 3",
"alertString": "Crossover=2.78&Bottom=2.78",
"fromScan": true
}
}

But, when I try to deserialize, I get an "Unexpected end of stream" error.

The issue appears to be with the escaped quotes inside the description element. When I remove that, it deserializes just fine.

I switched to Jil for its speed but I now have bosses encouraging me to switch back to Newtonsoft because they'd rather have compatibility even if it's a bit slower.

But, I'm still fighting to keep Jil.

Any chance of a fix any time soon?
