Hi Uday,
I just reproduced the steps and successfully loaded it to QGIS. no error in
the file.
Please go through all the explanations given in the thread. They've been
VERY basic.
If you're still not able to do it correctly, then you need to give some
exact details so that someone can help you. Like :
- what is size of saved file - if it's not around 39mb (some computers
calculate bytes differently (1024 vs 1000) so bit difference may be there
but explainable) - then you don't have the actual data file and you've
saved something else and are on wrong track
- what is extension of saved file - if it's not .geojson then you're on
wrong track.
- open the file in a text editor like VSCode and share the content up till
: " line 8 column 1" where you're getting the error. And if it's not
looking like:
{"type":"FeatureCollection", "features": [
{"type":"Feature","geometry":{"type":"Polygon","coordinates":[[[71.2702884145729,23
....
... then you're on wrong track.
Sometimes it's just a messed-up download due to network issues and simply
repeating the download again solves it.
Do try looking up online for what the .geojson format looks like, compare
etc to catch out any obvious mistakes.
If you're convinced that you're following everything properly and still
getting it wrong, then make a screen recording, upload to youtube and share
the link so you can show exact process and get feedback.
