SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character pixi.dev.js:10519 on Firefox

[flaboy]

Hi there

I've working on very simple game. I use PIXI.AssetLoader to load sprite sheets via associated with .json files. This is example star.json

{"frames": {"star0000":{	"frame": {"x":0,"y":0,"w":116,"h":110},	"rotated": false,	"trimmed": false,	"spriteSourceSize": {"x":0,"y":0,"w":116,"h":110},	"sourceSize": {"w":116,"h":110}},"star0001":{	"frame": {"x":116,"y":0,"w":116,"h":110},	"rotated": false,	"trimmed": false,	"spriteSourceSize": {"x":0,"y":0,"w":116,"h":110},	"sourceSize": {"w":116,"h":110}},"star0002":{	"frame": {"x":0,"y":110,"w":116,"h":110},	"rotated": false,	"trimmed": false,	"spriteSourceSize": {"x":0,"y":0,"w":116,"h":110},	"sourceSize": {"w":116,"h":110}},"star0003":{	"frame": {"x":116,"y":110,"w":116,"h":110},	"rotated": false,	"trimmed": false,	"spriteSourceSize": {"x":0,"y":0,"w":116,"h":110},	"sourceSize": {"w":116,"h":110}},"star0004":{	"frame": {"x":0,"y":220,"w":116,"h":110},	"rotated": false,	"trimmed": false,	"spriteSourceSize": {"x":0,"y":0,"w":116,"h":110},	"sourceSize": {"w":116,"h":110}},"star0005":{	"frame": {"x":116,"y":220,"w":116,"h":110},	"rotated": false,	"trimmed": false,	"spriteSourceSize": {"x":0,"y":0,"w":116,"h":110},	"sourceSize": {"w":116,"h":110}},"star0006":{	"frame": {"x":0,"y":330,"w":116,"h":110},	"rotated": false,	"trimmed": false,	"spriteSourceSize": {"x":0,"y":0,"w":116,"h":110},	"sourceSize": {"w":116,"h":110}}},"meta": {	"app": "Adobe Flash CS6",	"version": "12.0.2.529",	"image": "star.png",	"format": "RGBA8888",	"size": {"w":256,"h":512},	"scale": "1"}}

It works fine on Chrome, iOS Safari, Android browsers but on desktop Firefox got error:

SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character pixi.dev.js:10519

What's the problem? Shall I remove specific characters from .json file or change encoding?

Please help

First thing I would do is to console.log the response. Then you should see if firefox adds any unexpected characters to it.

If the response looks fine, then it might be a problem with the mime type.

Hi,

To me your Json looks a lot like it was generated by Flash, if that's the case check its encoding.

Flash has the dirty manner to output UTF-16 or something

[kuuuurija]

save the .json as UTF-8
