Beware of Trailing Backslashes!
The JSON specification *does not allow* trailing backslashes in strings. It will create a JSON-encoded string without throwing an error, but this string will cause an error when parsed.
For example, the string "Example\" will cause the following error in JavaScript when parsing:
JSON.parse: expected ',' or '}' after property value in object
This appears to be an oversight in the JSON specification and the only work-around appears to be removing trailing slashes from all strings before encoding.
