Invalid JSON

The API for GetGlobalAchievementPercentagesForApp gives invalid JSON (not detected by JSONLint however). There's an incorrectly encoded UTF-8 character at around character 21,290 of [1] (see [2]). This stops it being parsed by JSON libraries (for example, PHP's json_decode). Not sure what character, will stick to XML results for now unless that's affected too. --Rmasters 12:42, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

These errors are in the XML as well as the JSON for this request so I'll run through them.

Line 1048, GetGlobalAchievementPercentagesForApp (xml) - Malformed XML

		<achievement> 
			<name>	<achievement> 
			<name>TF_SOLDIER_BUFF_TEAMMATES</name> 
			<percent>3.999221</percent> 
		</achievement>

Line 872 - Strange name? Not a constant like the rest (non parser-breaking)

		<achievement> 
			<name>Sapador e punhalada</name> 
			<percent>9.451244</percent> 
		</achievement> 

Line 272 - Empty <name> (more likely a non-printable character)

		<achievement> 
			<name></name> 
			<percent>19.812321</percent> 
		</achievement> 

Also got this error but not sure what to do with it
