Humans write JSON all the time.  People use JSON as a configuration
language, and some people actually write JSON files by hand.  A common
example would be writing package.json for an npm package.

Here are a couple examples:

So, there's little value to say anything more than "parse
error"...except to help all those dumb humans that expect JSON to be
human-writable. ;)
