JSON DATA CORRUPTED ERROR

I don't why, my json file is throwing an error as being corrupted even though json file is valid. (I have checked from json validator). Here is my code: My model:

`import Foundation

class Person:Identifiable,Decodable{

    var id:UUID?

    var Name:String

    var Address:String

    var Company:String

    var YearsofExperience:Int

}

My JSON File

[{

    "Name":"Inigo Montoya",

   "Address":"555 YouKilled My father Street",

   "Company":"CodeWithChris",

   "YearsofExperience":35

 },

 {

     "Name":"Edna Mode",

    "Address":"123 Nocape Lane",

    "Company":"CodeWithChris",

    "YearsofExperience":177

 },

 {

     "Name":"Travis Bickle",

    "Address":"99 Youtalkingtome Road",

    "Company":"CodeWithChris",

    "YearsofExperience":99

 },

 {

     "Name":"Walter Sobchak",

    "Address":"8 Dude Place",

    "Company":"CodeWithChris",

    "YearsofExperience":23

    

 },

 {

     "Name":"Jullis Winnfield",

    "Address":"25 Ezekiel Ave",

    "Company":"CodeWithChris",

    "YearsofExperience":17

 }]

ViewModel:

import Foundation

class EmployeeModel:ObservableObject{
@Published var person = [Person]()
init(){

    person.self = DataFetching.getLocalData()

}
}

Is it possible to upload the json data file, like this?

it is not allowing me to post any code or attachments . i created the json file inside the project so the path should not be a problem?

Accepted Answer

The error message "Invalid value around line 1, column 0." is consistent with having invalid bytes at the very start of the file. Maybe there are some non-printing (invisible) characters there for some reason? (I initially thought byte order mark, but that seems to work fine.) Try examining the file directly via this command:

$ hexdump -C <path-to-your-JSON-file> | head -1

The expected output is exactly this:

00000000  5b 7b 0a 20 20 20 20 22  4e 61 6d 65 22 3a 22 49  |[{.    "Name":"I|

If the first character isn’t the opening square bracket, that’s bad. Let us know what it shows.
