JSON Metadata Wizard

I'm trying to get this json file templated ->
http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/json/rhel-ri-heavy.json
However when I attempt to walk it through the wizard it gives me this error
"File is not found or the json format is incorrect"
Even though
1) I can't see anything wrong with it
2) I validated it against these two sites -> http://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/ & http://jsonlint.com/
Which both say it's valid.
I'm able to reproduce this in 5.3.1 and 5.4 rc1.
Thoughts?

Hi,
Could you please paste your json file into forum so that we can take a testing for you.

The file is longer than the post allows... but here is a snipet.
I use curl to pull it down -> curl http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/json/rhel-ri-heavy.json >riec2pricing.json

Hi,
Sorry for delay.
For the validation process, we are first to convert JSON to XML file and then parsing the XML file.
I have taken a testing for your case, but the issue still repro.
Could you please open a jira issue of DI project on Talend Bug Tracker, our developer will see if there is a workaround.
Note: Please set the issue type as "WorkItem".
Best regards

Hi,
I have the same problem with parsing the ":" in the JSON object that i receive.
Example:
{
"dcterms 0683p000009MAB6.pngublisher": {
"dcterms:identifier": "at.swql.sprint",
"dcterms:title": "Project Lyo"
}
}
The "dcterms 0683p000009MAB6.pngublisher" for example won't be parsed correctly although it is found between double quotes, so if i changed the JSON to:
{
"dctermspublisher": {
"dctermsidentifier": "at.swql.sprint",
"dctermstitle": "Project Lyo"
}
}
Then it will work properly.
