Personally, I too would like the plugin to be more forgiving of JSON errors, but I certainly understand if that's too much work.

@alongL , I guess it work. Hope, this is what your ask.

I copied the text the text and open json viewer window. I see below -

Please note: that formatting of this is not possible as the json itself has error.
