Great reference, very handy!
You carried over some typos from https://www.json.com/cheat-sheet-v-1-3
You might correct "fist" to "first" in a few places.
I having some difficulty downloading the JSON cheatsheet I probably need to Add a Comment.
Still having difficulty download loading PDF of JSON Cheatsheet.
