Good point. But I take back what I said about the first three being
'easy enough'. :)

You need to tokenize the input so you can determine what's in a string
and what's not. For instance, there's nothing that says a key or value
couldn't be the string "{\"items": [ {\"[{,null\": \"null},\\,\"},
null, {\",null\": \",{ = null,\"}]".

Lexing that would be simple. Parsing it with a regular expression...
not so much.
