these many error are there, pls suggest if there is any alternative, instead of doing filter.

Please suggest

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Depending on the error message you receive, refer to the following methods for troubleshooting:

 

  1. Open the JSON file and check the end of the file for extra characters or unclosed brackets
  2. Use an online JSON formatting tool to validate and format the JSON file to ensure that it is formatted correctly

Best regards,

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Thank you for your additional information.

 

Please try to wrap multiple Json objects in an array by adding [ at the beginning of the first line, ] at the end of the last line, and , between each line to compare the results.

 

Best regards,

Joyce
