That is not quite correct JSON. Throw it back.

Will that work with non-conforming "JSON"?

Who knows? As with so many questions these days it is largely a matter of guesswork.

Try like this:

I don't think he has control of the input, and isn't that extraneous COMMA still going to cause trouble?

The extra comma does not seem to matter ...

That's odd; I'll have to read the spec again.
Edit: The extraneous COMMA definitely makes the data non-compliant, so a conforming parser should at least warn about it.
