[OpenLayers-Users] suggest adding try/catch around JSON.parse

[Charlton Galvarino]

In OpenLayers/Format/JSON.js, it would be helpful to have another try/catch block.  Sometimes my incoming JSON is bad, and as the code stands now, it throws a .js error and fails.

Original:

        if (this.nativeJSON) {
            object = JSON.parse(json, filter);
        } else try {
            /**
             * Parsing happens in three stages. In the first stage, we run the

Suggested change:

    read: function(json, filter) {
        var object;

            }
             catch(e) {
                 // Fall through if the parse fails.
             }
        } else try {
            /**
