IMO this is working as intended. Your example contains two fragments of json {} which is valid, and } which is not. The json package correctly detects the malformed second json fragment.

What @dcheney-atlassian said. The docs do say:

A Decoder reads and decodes JSON values from an input stream.
...
Decode reads the next JSON-encoded value from its input and stores it in the value pointed to by v.

If you only want to read one element, use Unmarshal or use https://golang.org/pkg/encoding/json/#Decoder.Token to see if EOF is next.
