This error should be fixed now.
ben, is this something you could possibly change in blockchain.info's output?
Yes this can be fixed fairly easily. I just need to know which exact API call is the invalid JSON coming from?
thanks, it's from the address_balance url:

consider the following output from blockchain.info's api:
this is causing my code to hug trees* on this line:
...because the address string is not being presented as a string (in quotes).
putting the above JSON into http://jsonlint.com yields the following message:
i can create a work-around myself by manually putting quotes around anything that looks like an address, before decoding, but it'd be a bit dodgey...
...anyone else encountered this issue? what did you do about it?
