Body is not getting parsed in GET method

I am using mockoon for API simulation. I created 2 routes there with method GET and its body contains(responds with) JSON object. I noticed that my express app is not able to parse one of the routes. But the route that has JSON object in body which contains ARRAY is getting parsed. I tested both routes with Express(by console.log) and in chrome browser(I have JSON formatter extension) and it is behaving the same meaning response that does not contain ARRAY is not getting parsed but the response with array is getting parsed(behaving normally). Let me show the screenshots:
Express(by console.log):
With array: enter image description here
Without array: enter image description here


Chrome(JSON Formatter extension):
With array(extension is able to parse): enter image description here
Without array(extension is not able to parse): enter image description here


I tried adding Header(Content-Type: application/json) to the route in mockoon. But still, I am not aware of what is going on here. Someone please explain


The express code:

const iabs_client = await axios.get(
    "http://localhost:3001/iabs-client
  );

Here is the route created in Mockoon(without array inside JSON): enter image description here

P.S mockoon is a program that creates endpoints in localhost, useful for API simulation when developing front-end without having backend yet

Solution

  • The trailing comma after "something" is not valid JSON. Edit your Mockoon body to remove the comma and it should work.
