Description

I don't understand what https://w3c.github.io/reporting/#generate-test-report is doing when it asks if something is a JSON object. You can't implement that.

Also, Object there references the completely wrong thing.

Research direction

Start with the linked W3C Reporting specification's Generate Test Report section and inspect how it defines a JSON object and references Object. Compare those references with the applicable JSON terminology, then clarify the algorithm so it is implementable and uses the intended definition.
