New day new error, this time something with JSON decoding in a plugin that does not use JSON at all:

I tried looking ad mentioned demjson.py file at lines 1702-1714 and it looks like problem is with some JSON structure with incorrect characters in it, maybe Cyrillic or something, but I don't know where to look for the said structure.
My best guess is that you're passing an argument or parameter to the ListItems function which is confusing the de-serializer. Looking at your code, it looks like you're passing a list which is made up of dicts. I suspect that the combination of data types is causing the problem. If you can rework your code so that you're passing a dict of dicts, that would probably work. Then you should hopefully be able to handle the necessary sorting/manipulation within the ListItems function.
On line 67 I am defining (or something) list object to work, if I change it to dict, how would it look then?
@route(PREFIX + '/listitems', items_list = dict)
like this?
Yes but, just changing the definition won't likely work unless you change the way you handle the data as well. One way to handle it would be to build a dict of dicts (rather than a list of dicts), then pass the complete dict to the ListItems() function which would then handle all the manipulation and build necessary menu directories. You'll need to decide which way to handle the data (that doesn't involve passing a list of dicts) that works best for your needs.
That is strange. Would the user reporting the issue be accessing different content? Perhaps it’s not the compound data-type that causing the problem but some strange character(s) in the data that the user has versus what you are accessing. Perhaps adding some Log() statements and getting fresh logs from the user will reveal something.
