Commenting for the record...
I've looked at the PasswordBoss web export. Unfortunately they've completely botched the character encoding. Encoding of JSON characters must be UTF-8, but they seem to be writing just one byte of a UTF-16 encoded character.
Example: character å should be UTF-8 encoded as 0xC3 0xA5, but they are writing 0xE5, which is only part of the UTF-16 encoding 0x00E5. The character ∫ should be UTF-8 encoded as 0xE2 0x88 0xAB, but they are writing 0x2B, which is only part of UTF-16 0x222B.
So this would be a very broken conversion. Until they fix their web export's JSON character encoding, I'm not going to attempt to support converting this format. I will update the converter to abort with a warning about the problem.
