The problem is that your string contains two instances of an escaped right
bracket  \]  .  That's not one of the characters you're allowed to escape
in JSON.  The rules are very strict.  There are only 8 allowed escape
codes, plus the \u#### construct.

Note that you cannot just replace \] with ], because your string also
contains one instance of \\] .

Who is doing the JSON encoding?  It appears to be doing it incorrectly.
