if you remove the connected word, what remains is a valid Json object — Blackbelt

Where is the "connected" piece from the beginning of the string coming from. That's your invalid json... — Pete

@Pete i am new to JSON please help me how to remove connected — Devendar

@Devender, it's coming from your stream, so it's somewhere before the code you've got posted, so I have no idea. — Pete

As the error clearly states, your JSON is not valid, because of the word connected in front of it.

You need to make your server stop sending that word.

You have this JSON:

{connected{"products":[{"pid":"406355","name":"852610 SOUTHCOUNTYMALL"},{"pid":"406356","name":"852611 SOUTHCOUNTYMALL"},{"pid":"406357","name":"852612 SOUTHCOUNTYMALL"}],"success":1}

This is an invalid JSON format because you have the wrong expresion '{connected' in the beginning of the JSON. Maybe, you should get a JSON like this:

{"products":[{"pid":"406355","name":"852610 SOUTHCOUNTYMALL"},{"pid":"406356","name":"852611 SOUTHCOUNTYMALL"},{"pid":"406357","name":"852612 SOUTHCOUNTYMALL"}],"success":1}

or like this:

{"connected":[VALUE], "products":[{"pid":"406355","name":"852610 SOUTHCOUNTYMALL"},{"pid":"406356","name":"852611 SOUTHCOUNTYMALL"},{"pid":"406357","name":"852612 SOUTHCOUNTYMALL"}],"success":1}

Anyway, I recommend you to use the Gson library to build and get JSONs.

You also can use this web to validate your JSON's syntax: jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com

or like:

{"connected":{"products":[{"pid":"406355","name":"852610 SOUTHCOUNTYMALL"},{"pid":"406356","name":"852611 SOUTHCOUNTYMALL"},{"pid":"406357","name":"852612 SOUTHCOUNTYMALL"}],"success":1}}
