What JsonBOT does
Every bot developer needs the same thing at some point: the numeric identifier of a chat, the file identifier of a document, the exact structure Telegram sends for a message type you have not handled yet. This bot prints it. Forward the message and the raw object comes back.
It also settles ordinary questions: what is my own identifier, is this a channel or a supergroup, why does a forwarded message lose its author. The answer is the data itself rather than an explanation, which is what you want while debugging.
Remember that anything you forward is read by a third-party bot, so do not send private conversations through it.

FAQ
How do I find a chat identifier?
Forward a message from that chat to the bot; the identifier is in the data it prints back.
Is it safe to forward a work message?
Treat it as public. Forward a test message you wrote yourself when you only need the identifiers.
