new line by the end of error messages

[zimmerle]

Is it correct to expect that all error messages will end with a new line?

In my use case scenario, the new line could be very annoying as reported here: owasp-modsecurity/ModSecurity#2278 (comment)

I understand that chomp is an option. However, I don't want to remove something that is eventually valid.

The trailing newline has always appeared on all error messages returned by yajl_get_error(), or at least has since 2007. If you set the verbose flag you even get multiple lines.

Should such a trailing newline be removed or are there concerns there? Or should clients of this library parse around it and handle the format themselves?

As I said, the newlines are there on purpose as multiline messages are possible and necessary.
