JSON Coding Problem - Help please!

[Zydeco]

Hey, guys! I've been trying to write some code for a Chrome App, but every time I try to finally upload it, I receive an error message:

Manifest is not valid JSON. Line: 1, column: 2, Dictionary keys must be quoted.


I've searched for hours trying to troubleshoot this, but have yet to resolve the issue. I have gone through and individually retyped each quotation mark and comma. It also passes a JSON tester so I'm really at a loss. Any help would be really appreciated - thanks!

}
},

"notifications"
]
}

This is a valid JSON. Maybe the problem is that some extra characters such as a BOM are added to the file?

continuing on that, try running strJSON.trim() before you parse it...

Thanks for the responses! It kept saving as .rtf instead of plain text so that was the initial problem. Unfortunately, I now get the error message:

Invalid value for 'app.urls[0]': Wrong scheme type.

Any help?

For anyone experiencing this problem, make sure to check that the manifest text is saved as a plain text instead of a rich text file. Also check all commas and quotation marks.

My second issue was due to a space after the colon in http that I kept overlooking.

Thanks for your help guys!
