Creating Json nested file structure

November 28, 2023

I am trying to add year and month to a json file so i can group all parties and events into a month with out having to place this information in each event but when I add it at the top of file it wont parse I am having a syntax issue some where here.

{

"year": 2023,
"month": 12
 {
  "Parties": [
    {
      "Event1": 67.7,
      "Event2": 5.1,
      "Event3": 3.3

    },
    
    {
       "Event1": 89.7,
       "Event2": 4.3,
       "Event3": 3.2
    
    },
    {
       "Event1": 69.3,
       "Event2": 4.2,
       "Event3": 0.0
    
    }
   ]
 }
}

>Solution :

There is a typo (comma is missing after month) and extra curly bracket { you have.

The working JSON is:

{
  "Year": 2023,
  "Month": 12,
  "Parties": [
    {
      "Event1": 67.7,
      "Event2": 5.1,
      "Event3": 3.3
    },
    {
      "Event1": 89.7,
      "Event2": 4.3,
      "Event3": 3.2
    },
    {
      "Event1": 69.3,
      "Event2": 4.2,
      "Event3": 0
    }
  ]
}

or if you want to use nested JSON, then add a property name before "Parties"

{
  "Year": 2023,
  "Month": 12,
  "PartyData": {
    "Parties": [
      {
        "Event1": 67.7,
        "Event2": 5.1,
        "Event3": 3.3
      },
      {
        "Event1": 89.7,
        "Event2": 4.3,
        "Event3": 3.2
      },
      {
        "Event1": 69.3,
        "Event2": 4.2,
        "Event3": 0
      }
    ]
  }
}
