Source map with deliberately invalid fields and mappings

A deliberately invalid source map: version 2 instead of 3, a sources array longer than sourcesContent, a mapping segment that names an index outside `names`, and a `$` that is not in the base64 VLQ alphabet. For testing that a decoder validates the envelope before trusting the mappings.

Testing contract

Expected to fail
Scenario
Load a source map whose version, array lengths and VLQ alphabet are all wrong.
Expected result
The decoder rejects version 2, reports the sources/sourcesContent length mismatch and the out-of-range name index, and raises on the illegal `$` character instead of decoding it as zero.

What is a .json file?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight, text-based data-interchange format representing objects, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans, and null. It is language-independent, human-readable, and the dominant format for web APIs and configuration. It requires a single well-formed root value.

How to use this file

Use an example JSON file to test parsers and serializers, schema validation, Unicode and number-precision handling, and API request or response processing.

How to use this file for testing

“Source map with deliberately invalid fields and mappings” is a deterministic Testaroo fixture for Web assets, JSON parsing, Error handling. Favicons, web app manifests, service workers, robots and sitemap files, Open Graph images, and .well-known resources, for testing web tooling, crawlers, PWA installers, and asset pipelines.

Documented properties for this file: seed 70400. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.

Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such, expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.

Web-platform fixtures are standards-compliant samples against fictional example.com data. Test crawlers, PWA installers and manifest validators, favicon/icon pipelines, service-worker registration, or .well-known parsers against the documented structure.
