Common JSON Errors & How to Fix Them

Missing or Extra Commas

JSON objects and arrays require commas between elements, but not after the last element.

Wrong
{
  "name": "John",
  "age": 30,  // Extra comma!
}
Correct
{
  "name": "John",
  "age": 30
}

Unquoted Property Names

In JSON, all object property names must be enclosed in double quotes.

Wrong
{
  name: "John",
  age: 30
}
Correct
{
  "name": "John",
  "age": 30
}

Single Quotes Instead of Double Quotes

JSON requires double quotes for strings, not single quotes.

Wrong
{
  "name": 'John',
  "greeting": 'Hello!'
}
Correct
{
  "name": "John",
  "greeting": "Hello!"
}

Invalid Escape Sequences

When using special characters in strings, they must be properly escaped.

Wrong
{
  "path": "C:\Users\John"
}
Correct
{
  "path": "C:\\Users\\John"
}
