Title:
  Wrong evaluation whether json is valid or not

Status in php-json package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in php-json package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  # php -r 'var_dump(json_decode("\"\xff\""));'
  string(1) "�"

  Should be:

  # php -r 'var_dump(json_decode("\"\xff\""));'
  NULL

  
  Since a large (and growing) number of services use JSON for communication, it's quite bad.
