I don't really want to see looser input requirements, making a JSON
parser that is compatible with a subset of Python repr output isn't a
design goal of mine.
This is absolutely false:
"Because single quotes are the only way (AFAIK) in which
Python's repr() produces invalid JSON (from JSONable combinations of
types)."
>>> repr(object)
"<type 'object'>"
If you don't know JSON, I'm not sure throwing random input at the JSON
parser is going to help you. Is that how you learned XML? There's plenty
of info in the JSON documentation and a link to json.org if you need
help.
