I am trying to see why tdom is failing on this json snippet.

"{"name":"Jeremi^G <--Error-- "}"

Assuming the ^G that did come through properly represnts the
character, then greg is right, it is an ASCII bell character, and per
the JSON spec [1] raw control characters are not allowed to be part of
a JSON string.

Which is why Tdom is telling you 'error' at the ^G output.

Are you on linux?  If yes the hexdump, objdump, or xxd (xxd is easiest
to use) commands will show you exactly what raw byte values exist in
the file.
