I’ve been trying to host my JSON file for the quote generator project and I keep getting an invalid error, but I can’t find anything wrong with my code. Please help!
Update: I checked it with https://www.freeformatter.com/json-validator.html and it says it’s valid in Javascript but says “The JSON input is NOT valid according to RFC 4627 (JSON specification). Unexpected character (}) at position 3469.”. I don’t even know what that means… O_O
Thanks in advance <3
