Hi @sanchit123manchanda,

This error usually arises when the JSON is not valid. Share the file you’re trying to load with me and I’ll validate it for you.

#3

{
“Name” : “Sanchit Manchanda”,
“marks” : 90,
“subjects”:[‘eng’,‘maths’]

}

this is the content of the file

#4

This is not valid JSON.
You can verify it yourself at this link.

#5

The same code was written in te video.

#6 
{
"Name": "Sanchit Manchanda",
"marks": 90,
"subjects": ["eng", "maths"]
}

Here. Try this json.
