Question

I am trying to read data from the json file data.json but whenever i try to parse and display the data I am getting the error mentioned in the title.

I am trying to parse json using codable protocol and can't seem to find the solution of the given error.

Answer 1

It seems the JSON is not valid. I ran it through jsonlint.com

I also removed the empty article at the top. This might cause an issue when instantiating an Article from the JSON data.

Here's the fixed version:
