Put it this way, when I feed your json object into a jason lint, the 
output is the following:

{
    "CF": "Fee",
    "ID": "2"
}

The second occurrence in the parent object of name "CF" with a value of 
string literal "Fee" overwrites the earlier name "CF" whose value is (in 
python terms) a dictionary or (in json terms) an object.
