To me it sounds as if the particular String in question was obtained
binary from the source (yard api probably) and there is a value which
cannot be converted to UTF8 (maybe because it is > 0x7F). You could
try correct encodings when fetching or force a particular encoding
(e.g. one of the latin 8bit encodings) - if you _know_ the encoding.
Kind regards

I have a Hash object I am trying to convert to JSON using the `json` gem.
Using #to_json I am getting this error:

Most of the content of that hash is being extracted from the YARD api.
Can anyone offer any idea on what the problem might be and how to fix?
