May be you can try, validating json_decode

try {
  $jsonData = file_get_contents($filePath) . ']';
  $jsonObj  = json_decode($jsonData, true);

  if (is_null($jsonObj)) {
    throw ('Error');
  }
} catch (Exception $e) {
  echo '{"result":"FALSE","message":"Caught exception: ' . 
    $e->getMessage() . ' ~' . $filePath . '"}';
}
