Firebase JSON import error Unexpected token “:”

Question

Doing a test import into firebase (not a full time developer here) and very new to Firebase and node.js I'm importing the following file and I'm getting the error below after it.

 { "__collections__": { "scores": { "comment": "test comment", "companyId": "ec24fmJeLA93l5jWPAN0", "date": 1607770800.00, "email": "bdavis@wftst.com", "score": 3, "tags": [ "Supervisor Issues", "Communication Issues" ], "userId": "a8waViyRAJWGr2h6Gc3u", "__collections__": {} } }

I'm getting the following error on my terminal after I run the import.

*JSONError: Unexpected token ":" (0x3A) in JSON at position 30 while parsing near "...ctions__\": \n\"scores\": {\n    \"comment\": \"..." in TEST_BDAVIS.json

Answer 1

In the JSON you provided, it seems that a } is missing. Where should your entire file end, as well as your first __collections__ and scores section? That may be the cause of the error.
