Json.parse Syntax Error

Question

I've got code.

{
 s: "ok",
 t: [1386493512, 1386493572, 1386493632, 1386493692],
 c: [42.1, 43.4, 44.3, 42.8]
}

Why it return code SyntaxError: JSON.parse: expected property name or '}' at line 2 column 4 of the JSON data

For starters that's not valid JSON. Property names have to be enclosed in double quotes. See json.org for more details... — War10ck

"I've got code." Good. Where is that code? What JS is calling JSON.parse? — Piper McCorkle

that's not json, that's javascript. in json, object keys MUST be quoted. — Marc B

In javascript the keys are presumed to be strings so keys do not need to be in quotes, however in JSON they do. You should change your code to look like

{
 "s": "ok",
 "t": [1386493512, 1386493572, 1386493632, 1386493692],
 "c": [42.1, 43.4, 44.3, 42.8]
}
