I'm getting an error "Unable to load Json data" when trying to load the json file with getTreeFromFile. The data is not parsing into a hash. Should I be using a parser other rather than JSON.parse? Could the data file be corrupt somehow?
Thanks for any help!

Have you verified the file permissions of the JSON file itself? Does your script have the right to read from it?

Yes. I'm on Windows. I can read from the file and load its content just fine.
From the ruby command line, I do the following:
file = File.open(filename, 'r')
json = f.readlines.to_s
hash = JSON.parse(json)
Here is where it fails:
hash.kind_of?(Hash)
=> false

obviously "json = f.readlines.to_s" should read: "json = file.readlines.to_s"

Needed to use yajl-ruby instead of JSON.
