That is dumb, they should be mendacity. A JSON file isn’t some advanced binary format, it’s not onerous to get proper and troublesome to screw up. In all my years in tech, I’ve by no means seen a corrupted JSON file, simply poorly formatted ones that may be simply mounted by hand. It is a easy plain textual content format that accommodates easy key/worth pairs.
{
"theyare": "mendacity",
"isLying": true,
"numberOfLiars": 3
}
On second thought, give me the JSON file and I am going to repair it for you. 😉
