After creating a custom JSON file for my config.txt, I'm getting the following error: 2012-10-13 21:30:02.204 appname[73002:c07] BT_application: ERROR parsing JSON in validateApplicationData: ( "Error Domain=org.brautaset.JSON.ErrorDomain Code=3 "Unrecognised leading character" UserInfo=0x87c5cc0 {NSLocalizedDescription=Unrecognised leading character}" ) Is there any way to identify where in the file this error is occurring? When I parse the file through the JSON validation tool, it says it is valid JSON.

Lots of time this is due to a ` instead of a ' being used in your text somewhere. That's the first think I'd look for. I think I've also seen it due to slashes (/ or \) being used. And, if you are using any non-English characters, sometimes that does it. Mark

I combed through the file and found multiple errors - although oddly enough none that would seem to indicate the problem above (no single quotes, curly quotes, or backslashes). But, the problem seems to be gone for now.

Well, one of the errors you corrected must have fixed it! Either way, good job!

You could also try your json text on http://jsonlint.com to validate it. It should show you where the problems are.

Thanks ictguy - I was using that and it showed valid JSON the entire time. What I came to find out, though, is that the JSON output my browser displayed was not what the same url produced in app. I figured this out by plugging the url into jsonlint.com, rather than copying and pasting the output. I never really figured out why this occurred, but in correcting several of the errors I found when combing through the file, it fixed itself. **edit** Make that one of the other json validation tools online. jsonlint.com doesn't have an option for using a url.
