Question

I’m experimenting with d3 and trying now to read data from a json-file.

What I currently want to save in the json file are the words of a text with x- and y-coordinates where the words shall be written on the output .html-file.

Could you please tell me if this chosen json syntax approach is correct?

{"text": [
    {
      "Word": "Hi",
      "X": 300,
      "Y": 400,
    }
    {
      "Word": "Hello",
      "X": 500,
      "Y": 100,
    }

Thanks a lot for your answers.

No, it’s not valid.

• You have some extra commas on lines 5 and 10.
• You have a missing comma on line 6.

This is valid JSON:

{
    "text": [
        {
            "Word": "Hi",
            "X": 300,
            "Y": 400
        },
        {
            "Word": "Hello",
            "X": 500,
            "Y": 100
        }
    ]
}

You can use JSONLint to validate your JSON.
