Common JSON Format Errors & Best Practices

1. Double Quotes Required

Unlike JavaScript object literals, RFC 8259 strictly requires double quotes ("key") around all object keys and string values. Single quotes cause syntax failure.

2. No Trailing Commas

Trailing commas after the final item in an array or object property list are invalid in standard JSON. Always omit commas before closing braces or brackets.

3. Disallowed Types

Standard JSON does not support undefined, functions, NaN, or comments (// or /* */). Use JSON5 or YAML if comments are essential.
