Your JSON format is incorrect. The outer object does not have a key to label the value which is the inner object.

Github uses the red background to show that there is a problem in your syntax, which in this case is that the structure of your JSON object is invalid.

Try using something like:

```json
{ "key": { "term": "", "when": "" } ... }
```

If you were trying to represent an array of objects, use something along these lines:

```json
[ { "term": "", "when": "" } ... ]
```
