I am trying to build a JSON api like the one used in the Android Blog reader app

I am trying to build a JSON api like the one used in the Android Blog reader app. I am using php and I have a page that gives me the following results :

```{ status: "ok", count: 20, count_total: 400, pages: 400, posts: [ { id: "121", url: "http://www.website.com/file/122/daytime", title: "day", author: "time", date: "2014-09-22 01:35:56" }, { id: "122", url: "http://www.website.com/file/122/daytime", title: "Dance Floor", author: "2face Idibia", date: "2014-09-22 01:55:08" } ] }

Here is the url of my api ```http://www.website.com/jsonapi.php```

Now when I change the url of the blog app and put the above, it gives me this exception:
```org.json.JSONException: Unterminated string at character 218 of {"status":"ok","count":20,"count_total":400,"pages":400,"posts":[{"id":"121","url":"http:\/\/www.website.com\/file\/121\/daytime","title":"Day time","author":"day Time","date":"2014-09-22```

You're missing a "}]} to close your JSON data
