That's not a valid JSON document. See <URL:http://json.org/>.

You appear to have three documents in a row, separated by commas. Or one
malformed document, missing its enclosure.

Or something else; that's the trouble with a malformed document, we
don't know what it should be.

Right. The document ends there, and the rest of the string is trailing
garbage, which is an error.

Fix the document. Where did it come from?

Best, don't put it directly in the Python source code as a string.
Ideally, have it as a distinct file, which you can examine in a text
editor with JSON highlighting; and run separately through a JSON parser
for correctness.
