SparkSQL doesn't work well with JSON

Well formed JSON doesn't work with the 1.5.1 version while using sqlContext.read.json("<json-file>"):

{
"employees": {
"employee": [

{ "name": "Mia",<newline> "surname": "Radison",<newline> "mobile": "7295913821",<newline> "email": "miaradison@sparky.com" }

,

{ "name": "Thor",<newline> "surname": "Kovaskz",<newline> "mobile": "8829177193",<newline> "email": "tkovaskz@sparky.com" }

,

{ "name": "Bindy",<newline> "surname": "Kvuls",<newline> "mobile": "5033828845",<newline> "email": "bindykk@sparky.com" }

]
}
}

For the above following error is obtained:
ERROR Executor: Exception in task 0.0 in stage 1.0 (TID 2)
scala.MatchError: (VALUE_STRING,StructType()) (of class scala.Tuple2)

Where as, this works fine because all components are in the same line:

[

{"name": "Mia","surname": "Radison","mobile": "7295913821","email": "miaradison@sparky.com"}

,

{"name": "Thor","surname": "Kovaskz","mobile": "8829177193","email": "tkovaskz@sparky.com"}

,

{"name": "Bindy","surname": "Kvuls","mobile": "5033828845","email": "bindykk@sparky.com"}

]
