Description

Whenever I try to deserialize a JSON Object with a String that ends with a correctly escaped backslash "
", it throws an exception:

Caught: groovy.json.JsonException: Expected a value on line: 1, column: 25.
But got an unterminated object.
groovy.json.JsonException: Expected a value on line: 1, column: 25.
But got an unterminated object.

I've attached a small repro.
