I am getting the following error and I have no idea how to fix it:

Blockquote Error: Parse error on line 1660: ..., "Description": "Consultant psychiat ----------------------^ Expecting 'STRING', 'NUMBER', 'NULL', 'TRUE', 'FALSE', '{', '[', got 'undefined'

Here's the portion of the file that is throwing this error:

    },

What am I doing wrong?

  • I think the error must be in a different part of the file, as it indicates the presence of the word undefined (unquoted), probably a value given to DescriptionStartDate somewhere. Try to locate that... undefined is not allowed as a value in JSON, however null is, so maybe replace that. Commented Sep 11, 2016 at 12:35
  • I got this error because I was creating json from SQL Server and then copying it and pasting into a json formatter. Problem was that SSMSC truncates the json leaving a trailing comma. Commented Sep 23, 2022 at 16:20

Reset to default

This error causes because of quotes we have used in our JSON. Maybe somewhere you have used “ instead of " in your JSON. For resolving this error you have to replace all “ quotes with ".Please find validation checking result of your JSON as followenter image description here

@ArnavThorat it was just quote issue. I have used same json which is shared in question above and it was not validating due to quote issue ,so I have not shared the json again

I have some problem. Now if you run composer -vvv update you get

Reading composer.json of [email protected]:test/test.git (master)
    Executing command (C:/Users/xxx/AppData/Local/Composer/vcs/git-test/test.git/): git show "72721b472adb50643e9bfd1745544db3522b58d2":"compoSkipped branch master, "72721b472adb50643e9bfd1745544db3522b58d2:composer.json" does not contain valid JSON
    Parse error on line 1:
    C:\Users\xxx\AppD
    ^
    Expected one of: 'STRING', 'NUMBER', 'NULL', 'TRUE', 'FALSE', '{', '['

From verbose mode you can see that git is getting json from 

 git show "72721b472adb50643e9bfd1745544db3522b58d2":"compoSkipped branch master, "72721b472adb50643e9bfd1745544db3522b58d2:composer.json"

The problem is in the console encoding from which you are running composer. In my case I have console encoding in CP-1250. When I change console encoding to ANSI it work without problem.
