Why can't Python parse this JSON data?

Question

I have this JSON in a file:

{
    \"maps\": [
        {
            \"id\": \"blabla\",
            \"iscategorical\

If you're using Python3, you can try changing your (connection.json file) JSON to:

{
  "connection1": {
    "DSN": "con1",
    "UID": "abc",
    "PWD": "1234",
    "connection_string_python":"test1"
  }
  ,
  "connection2": {
    "DSN": "con2",
    "UID": "def",
    "PWD": "1234"
  }
}

Then using the following code:

connection_file = open('connection.json', 'r')
conn_string = json.load(connection_file)
conn_string['connection1']['connection_string_python'])
connection_file.close()
>>> test1
