I basically want to implement DataTables AJAX source example given in the link https://datatables.net/release-datatables/examples/data_sources/ajax.html. everytime I run it, I get the error http://datatables.net/tn/1. So I googled about this error and got to know that it has Invalid JSON response. So I copy pasted my text (arr.txt) code in JsonLint which gives the error Unexpected token. I am really curious about this error. Kindly help me to fix it. Thanks in advance !
This is my arr.txt. (in Json) (I copy pasted this in notepad and saved it as .txt)
