$ json -nf foo.json
json: error: "foo.json" is not JSON: SyntaxError: Unexpected token

$ json -nf comma.json
json: error: "comma.json" is not JSON: Unexpected ']' at line 1, column 16:
        [{"foo":"bar"},]
        ...............^

Why no context on the error in foo.json that has an illegal literal tab in the string?
