Answer 1

Usually this error is because of unneeded commas, make sure to remove the trailing comma from all last elements in every { } block.

Example snippet:

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
    "@context": "http://schema.org",
    "@type": "Article",
    "mainEntityOfPage": {
        "@type": "WebPage",
        "@id": "http://foo.bar", // Remove comma here
    }, // Remove comma here

    // Add other required fields if necessary
}
</script>
