Unable to read frontmatter for some JSON values

[aquilax]

$ hugo version
Hugo Static Site Generator v0.24.1 linux/amd64 BuildDate: 2017-06-24T10:27:00+02:00

The front matter in question uses JSON and has escaped quote in a value:

{
    "desc": " \"test"
}

This results in the following error:

Started building sites ...
ERROR 2017/07/07 16:53:45 unable to read frontmatter at filepos 27: EOF
Error: Error building site: Errors reading pages: Error: unable to read frontmatter at filepos 27: EOF for test.md

while jq parses JSON the file correctly:

$ jq . content/test.md 
{
  "desc": " \"test"
}

This is fixed in Hugo 0.25.

@bep I get the same issue but with slashes now:

{
    "url": "http:\/\/example.com\/play\/url?id=1"
}

$ hugo serve

@bep Will report here so I don't pollute the issues:

{
    "test": "\"New\r\nString\""
}

{
    "test": "RTS\/RPG"
}

fail with the same message:

ERROR 2017/07/08 17:50:55 unable to read frontmatter at filepos xx: EOF

Running with the latest master.

I should never have started touching this front matter handling. :=)
