Paste the following text into an empty JSON document and see if the matching of the curly and square brackets works as expected. It doesn't for me.

{
\"ID\": 256,
\"Things\": [
{
\"Thing\": 1,
\"Group\": {
\"What\": \"AllOf\",
\"Who\":
[\"ÐÐ‘Ð’Ð“Ð”Ð•Ð–Ð—ÐÐ‘Ð’Ð“Ð”Ð•Ð–Ð—ÐÐ‘Ð’Ð“Ð”Ð•Ð–Ð—ÐÐ‘Ð’Ð“Ð”Ð•Ð–Ð—ÐÐ‘Ð’Ð“Ð”Ð•Ð–Ð—\",
\"ÐÐ‘Ð’Ð“Ð”Ð•Ð–Ð—ÐÐ‘Ð’Ð“Ð”Ð•Ð–Ð—ÐÐ‘Ð’Ð“Ð”Ð•Ð–Ð—ÐÐ‘Ð’Ð“Ð”Ð•Ð–Ð—ÐÐ‘Ð’Ð“Ð”Ð•Ð–Ð—\",
\"ÐÐ‘Ð’Ð“Ð”Ð•Ð–Ð—ÐÐ‘Ð’Ð“Ð”Ð•Ð–Ð—ÐÐ‘Ð’Ð“Ð”Ð•Ð–Ð—ÐÐ‘Ð’Ð“Ð”Ð•Ð–Ð—ÐÐ‘Ð’Ð“Ð”Ð•Ð–Ð—\",
\"ÐÐ‘Ð’Ð“Ð”Ð•Ð–Ð—ÐÐ‘Ð’Ð“Ð”Ð•Ð–Ð—ÐÐ‘Ð’Ð“Ð”Ð•Ð–Ð—ÐÐ‘Ð’Ð“Ð”Ð•Ð–Ð—ÐÐ‘Ð’Ð“Ð”Ð•Ð–Ð—\"]
}
}]
}]

Notice that the color coding for this JSON document does not look right. That is why parenthesis matching doesn't work.

As far as I can tell, code like the following is NOT a valid string.

Code: [Select]

\"whatever\"

You can change SlickEdit's color coding. Go to Options>Languages>Web Authoring Languages>JSON>Color coding>Tokens Tab.

Remove the "Escape char" for the double quoted string.

Once the color coding of strings works for odd JSON like this, the parenthesis matching will work.
