I have the following JSON file:
{"id":1140854908,"name":"'Amran"}
{"id":1140852651,"name":"'Asir"}
{"id":1140855190,"name":"'Eua"}
{"id":1140851307,"name":"A Coruna"}
{"id":1140854170,"name":"A`Ana"}
I used the package jsonlite but I get a parsing error
library(jsonlite)
try <- fromJSON("states.txt",simplifyDataFrame = T)
# Error in feed_push_parser(readBin(con, raw(), n), reset = TRUE) :
# parse error: trailing garbage
# :1140854908,"name":"'Amran"} {"id":1140852651,"name":"'Asir"
# (right here) ------^
The most common way to handle JSON parse error is using try-catch block. If the JSON string is valid, it will return a JavaScript object. If the JSON string is invalid, it will throw a SyntaxError.
The "SyntaxError: JSON. parse: unexpected character" error occurs when passing a value that is not a valid JSON string to the JSON. parse method, e.g. a native JavaScript object. To solve the error, make sure to only pass valid JSON strings to the JSON.
JSON. parse() parses a string as JSON. This string has to be valid JSON and will throw this error if incorrect syntax was encountered.
Try changing your data file to below
[
{"id":1140854908,"name":"'Amran"}
,{"id":1140852651,"name":"'Asir"}
,{"id":1140855190,"name":"'Eua"}
,{"id":1140851307,"name":"A Coruna"}
,{"id":1140854170,"name":"A`Ana"}
]
The same code worked for me.. It is looking for an array..
