even if not a “parser error”, it may also be the case, that the subsequent content appears so only because there is a syntax error in the content which precedes the last ‘}’  - or perhaps even the ‘}’ is one of an inadvertent ‘}}’.

for protocols over http, which offers little in the way of standard reporting channels, the safest response in that case would be some form of ‘400’ response error.
