Description:
If the api throws an error and the format is set to JSON, the error is additionally tagged onto the end of the JSON making it fail on JSON parsers.

for example

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=invalid&meta=siteinfo&format=json

will produce

{"error":{"code":"unknown_action","info":"Unrecognized value for parameter 'action': invalid"}}unknown_action: Unrecognized value for parameter 'action': invalid

instead of

{"error":{"code":"unknown_action","info":"Unrecognized value for parameter 'action': invalid"}}
