When working with JSON data, you may encounter issues such as trailing commas, mismatched braces, or incorrect data types that make the JSON invalid. {% data variables.copilot.copilot_chat %} can help you debug and fix these errors by suggesting corrections to fix invalid JSON.
## Example scenario
Consider a scenario where an application consumes JSON data from an API, but the response fails to parse due to invalid formatting. You receive the error message:
```bash
Error: Parse error
----------------------^
Expecting 'STRING', 'NUMBER', 'NULL', 'TRUE', 'FALSE', '{', '[', got 'undefined'
```
Below is the JSON data that caused the error:
```json
{
"location": "San Francisco",
"current_weather": {
"temperature": 18,
"unit": "Celsius",
"conditions": "Cloudy
},
"forecast": {
"day": "Monday",
"high": 22,
"low": 15,
"precipitation": 10
}
}
```
## Example prompt
`Why is my JSON object invalid and how can I fix it?`
## Example response
{% data reusables.copilot.example-prompts.response-is-an-example %}
{% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} might suggest that your JSON is invalid because it's missing a closing quote for the `conditions` value. Here is the corrected JSON:
```json
{
"location": "San Francisco",
"current_weather": {
"temperature": 18,
"unit": "Celsius",
"conditions": "Cloudy"
},
"forecast": {
"day": "Monday",
"high": 22,
"low": 15,
"precipitation": 10
}
}
```
In this example response, {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %}'s suggestions include fixing the closing quote for the `conditions` value, which resolves the JSON parsing error.
