JSON returning syntax error while syntax seems to be correct

Question

I have a JSON file which contains an array with two objects in it like this:
[
{
"firstname":"John1",
"lastname":"Doe1"
},
{
"firstname":"John2",
"lastname":"Doe2"
}
]
Though, in my file, everything is written in one line like this:
[{"firstname":"John1","lastname":"Doe1"},{"firstname":"John2","lastname":"Doe2"}]
I don't see any syntax error here, though my Node.js server logs me this in the command prompt when I try to read the JSON file:
SyntaxError: Unexpected token , in JSON at position xxx
Here that "," is the exact comma separating the 2 objects inside that array.
Any ideas what's the issue here? Thanks.

Answer 1

Oh guys, hang on. I just fixed the whole thing. I shouldn't have removed the square brackets, because that makes the JSON file invalid, which obviously generates that syntax error.
To make the thing work that I want to be working, I had to refer to a specific element in the array. I was just a little stupid here by removing the square brackets and thinking it would refer to the first object automatically.

Answer 2

Yes

Answer 3

My software is also showing it invalid

Answer 4

I have a bit experience of Json By Mcpe modding Can you tell That position Or its just showing xxx

Answer 5

Harsh Mathur I replaced the number with xxx because my code is different than the one I described in the question. The position is pointing to the comma that separates the 2 objects inside the array.

Answer 6

Harsh Mathur I just replaced the firstname value and the lastname value with different names. Further on the code structure is EXACTLY the same. I cannot show you the code rn, I will drop it here later.

Answer 7

Ok no prob

Answer 8

Let me see

Answer 9

Hmmm this code is Right there are no mistakes in it Maybe its a system error or something like that because The code is Right

Answer 10

Harsh Mathur I will drop the code later together with my Node.js where I read the JSON file.

Answer 11

Hmm you should try other application or software because the problem is in it maybe

Answer 12

Hi Harsh Mathur. So, here's the code.
In Node.js, this is the code that has to do with reading the file:
let body = '';
req.on('data', (chunk) => body += chunk);
req.on('end', () => {
const userNew = qs.parse(body.toString());
if(fs.existsSync('formdata.json') != false) {
var usersData = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('formdata.json').toString().replace(/\[/g,'').replace(/\]/g,''));
var users = [];
users.push(userNew,usersData);
fs.writeFile('formdata.json', JSON.stringify(users), (err) => {if(err) throw err;});
res.end();
}
else {
//smth else
}
(Sorry if it's hard to read).
And again, this is the JSON file:
[{"firstname":"John1","lastname":"Doe1","email":"[email protected]","submit":"Register"},{"firstname":"John2","lastname":"Doe2","email":"[email protected]","submit":"Register"}]
And this is the feedback I get in the command prompt:
undefined:1
<the content of the JSON file>
SyntaxError: Unexpected token , in JSON at position 106
Position 106 is the position of that comma that separates the 2 objects in the array in my code.

Answer 13

So pls give the real code i also have to see because
