JSON parse error on game.load.json() when the file is too large

[sonoj]

Chrome 45.0.2454.85 on my Win7 throws an exception 

SyntaxError: Unexpected token , at Object.parse (native)

at

    jsonLoadComplete: function (file, xhr) {        var data = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);       // <-- HERE

when this xhr.responseText exceeds 1MB.   JSON.parse() is the function actually throws an exception.

 

I want to know some smart way of avoiding this 1MB problem .

Are you sure the problem is the file size and not an error in the json? As I'm not convinced Chrome has a hard-coded limit for a maximum json size (and if it does I doubt it's as small as 1MB).

 

And I know for a fact Phaser can load json files larger than this, because the Creature Animation data files are several MB in size and load and parse just fine.

Thanks rich, I tried the other JSON data which is larger than 1MB, and successfully parsed.

At least, there's no 1MB problem.

If you view the .json file with chrome if there is an error it will show, or throw it in a json-lint
