Can't find formatting error

Question

What's wrong with this:

String json = "{ \"id\" : \"1\",\"method\" : \"Page.navigate\",\"params\" : { \"url\" : \"http://gmail.com\" }}";

UPDATE :

I'm trying to use the google chrome remote debugging feature. I have to send messages in Json format, that line is what I'm sending and this is the error I'm getting:

{"error":{"code":-32700,"message":"Parse error.","data":["Message should be in JSON format."]},"id":null}

Answer 1

Many of the problems I have encountered regarding JSON strings in C# has been as a result of escape characters getting formatted improperly, To be safe, I do:

String json = @"{ \"id\" : \"1\",\"method\" : \"Page.navigate\",\"params\" : [{ \"url\" : \"http://gmail.com\" }]}";

That may not solve all of your problems but it helped me a lot.

Also, when working with JSON, I find using fiddler2 is helpful at capturing the packets and seeing what you're doing wrong at that level. You can get it from here . You can also use Fiddler2's "Composer" feature to test JSON posts without using MVS, let me know if you need more information on how to use it. Hope this helps.
