Description Adam Williamson 2015-12-09 22:59:40 UTC 
Consider the following text:

[
    "foo",
    "bar]"
]

If you syntax highlight it as Python, it correctly matches the brackets (the ] inside one of the strings is ignored for matching purposes). If you syntax highlight it as JSON, the ] inside the second string is considered to close the opening bracket, and the final bracket has no match. This is incorrect.
