Again I can not cope with the regular expression, or how to capture the entire json array correctly?

Question

API

I want to put the answer from api vk in json format into the list without connecting libraries,
etc.

(?<=\{"uid":)([0-9]{1,}),"f.*?(?=})

* {"uid": and the last one } - cut
it turns out to get all the data but the nested data, as in this case

{"uid":32711210,"first_name":"Юрий","last_name":"Коцюбинский","sex":2,"bdate":"15.5.1976","relation":4,"relatives":[{"uid":195139503,"type":"sibling"},{"uid":191446274,"type":"sibling"},{"uid":95498830,"type":"sibling"},{"uid":182441705,"type":"sibling"},{"uid":232168089,"type":"sibling"},{"uid":11080578,"type":"sibling"}]}

they are cut off not at all as it should be - which is not buzzing.

32711210,"first_name":"Юрий","last_name":"Коцюбинский","sex":2,"bdate":"15.5.1976","relation":4,"relatives":[{"uid":195139503,"type":"sibling"

gentlemen, I understand that this is not quite the right method for working with json . but still would love to hear a possible solution
