Livecode provides a text editor to, well, edit text. It does not understand the syntax/grammar of languages (Livecode, HTML, Javascript, JSON, YML, etc). What you need is an editor that “knows" JSON.
Your best bet is to copy the text into Sublime, Visual Studio Code or Atom which do understand JSON’s syntax/grammar. There may be some configuration to the tool you will need to do but you will get indications from these editors when you have malformed JSON. - Bob Hall > On Nov 17, 2018, at 6:39 PM, William Prothero via use-livecode > <use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > > What I would like to do is get a dialog that the JSON wasn’t formed > correctly.
