Re: JSON Syntax error

Jon,

you can't have a object and a object }{ - that is forbidden, but you can
name the objects

"abc" : { ... }, // you still need the comma to separate the abc and def
element
"def" : { ... }

Thanks Don - I tried a similar approach and also tried adding the [ for an
array to get the repeats - but still can't make it work.

I also tried coding some XML (where I understand repeating elements) and
using an on-line convertor to convert it to json - sadly it doesn't help
because it converts it to a series of arrays which is not how the original
data is presented.

The first part validated correctly and the second part validated

correctly

so I modified as follows and the complete string validated correctly.

While this now validates if you have not pasted the entire string that

may

be why this change worked.

I don't know JSON but the repeating section I think needs to be enclosed
in [ ] not { }

The JSON below is an extract from a file produced by an exercise bike. It
has a syntax error apparently but I'm danged if I can see what it is -
admittedly I'm shaky on JSON so it is probably something obvious but ...

The array/collection/whatever that begins with as "workoutDate" is the
part of the file that repeats. I've tried various minor corrections on

the

assumption that the error has to be trivial but without success.

{
"userName": "BERT ",
"userAge": 28,
"userWeight": 180,
"userGender": "M",
"userHeight": "72",
"mID": "GB"
} {
"workoutDate": {
"Month": 2,
"Day": 22,
"Year": 2016
},
"distance": 10.1,
"finishTime": {
"Hours": 13,
"Minutes": 38
},
"pctAverageHeartRateInZone": 0.0,
"averageSpeed": 15.1,
"totalWorkoutTime": {
"Hours": 0,
"Minutes": 40
},
"averageWattsPerHour": 75.0,
"totalCalories": 211.0,
"avgHeartRate": 129.3,
"avgRpm": 62,
"avgLevel": 4
}

Can somebody spot what the problem is here.
