I tried to read a meta data (from http://jmcauley.ucsd.edu/data/amazon/links.html) in json format.
It has the following error.
Is there anyone could help me?

  • Typically this error is caused by some arbitrary text being present in the input stream that you are feeding to json.load(s). So to investigate make sure that the contents of the file only have well-structured json. Try adding a read() and use json.loads().

Try this code instead:



with open('dumps/all_products.json', 'r') as fd:
content = json.loads(fd.read())
