Extra data after JSON (trailing characters)

Troubleshoot Extra data after JSON (trailing characters) with a reliable workflow: validate, locate the position/line, fix the root cause, and validate again (no upload).

TL;DR: Validate locally, pinpoint the failing spot, apply the minimal fix, then validate again.

Fast no-upload workflow

  1. Validate the input (strict rules, correct encoding, correct delimiter/quotes).
  2. Locate the exact position/line reported by the parser or validator.
  3. Fix the smallest broken part (often a quote, escape, delimiter, or a truncated copy/paste).
  4. Re-validate and only then convert/export.
