[[{] being a character alternative [...] matching either [ or {. As a START pattern, hideshow will look for that, and then find the balancing end-point for that, which should be a matching ] or } as matched by []}]. I'm not surprised if invalid JSON causes issues, but "garbage in, garbage out" as they say! I don't imagine you're expecting Emacs to fix invalid data :)

They work as long as the JSON data is valid. If the buffer contains miss-balanced braces, they will be collapsed to this: [...}.

I still do not understand why, but the regexps [[{] and []}] seem to work. Thank you!

I do not understand, how this answers the question. I see I can change START and END. But I do not see, how to specify multiple corresponding STARTs and ENDs.
