Error parsing app.config with more complex custom-properties

[cwiechmann]

When having defined the following custom properties the app.config file can't be parsed:

    customPropertiesConfig: {
        user: {
            // custom properties...
        },
        organization: {
            // custom properties...
        },
        application: {
            // custom properties...
        },
        api: {
            contentBasedRouting: {
                label: 'Content Based Routing',
                required: false,
                help: 'Example: xml|https://abc.company.com:8080/api',
                regex: '^[0-9]{4}$',
                error: 'Strange error'
            }, 
            securityClassification: {
                label: 'Security classification',
                required: true,
            	type: 'select',
            	options: [
                	{value: 'public', label: 'Public'},
                	{value: 'private', label: 'Private'},
                	{value: 'confidential', label: 'Confidential'}
            	],
                help: 'Controls the agreed security classification of this API',
            } 
        }
},

This leads to the following error:

App.config contained an error having some special invisible characters. Created a unit-test for that kind of app.config anyway to further prove it and it's working fine.
