I am seeing the same issues as Rapahel.

A poor man's checker if you are parseable in theory would be:

wget https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/data/json
perl -e 'use Data::Dumper; use JSON; open(JSON, json);
$data=from_json(do {local $/; <JSON>}, {relaxed => 1}); print Dumper
$data'

and to make sure it's actually valid:

perl -e 'use Data::Dumper; use JSON; open(JSON, json);
$data=from_json(do {local $/; <JSON>}); print Dumper $data'


FWIW, I agree that serializing should be done by a JSON library; that
way you don't have to care about the details.
