broken JSON output about corelocationcli HOT 5 CLOSED

Fixed in latest version. Requesting testing.

Will need to compile from source because this latest update is not yet in Homebrew.

from corelocationcli.

An example:

{
  "latitude": 1.234,
  "longitude": 4.321,
  "altitude": 1234,
  "direction": -1.0,
  "speed": -1,
  "h_accuracy": 72,
  "v_accuracy": 12,
  "time": "2018-02-06 19:10:42 +0000",
  "address": "Some Road 12
12345 Some City
Germany"
}

from corelocationcli.

FYI kiliankoe/location is an alternative that has correct json encoding.

Thank you. Yes, valid issue.

Noticed the same today. Until now I had only used default output, then used lat+long to get the address using mapbox. But then I tried the -json option to get the address directly, and parsing didn't work:

CoreLocationCLI -json | jq -r '.latitude'
parse error: Invalid string: control characters from U+0000 through U+001F must be escaped at line 12, column 8
