Problem for editing json with fs module

Glitch Help

#1

Hello I allow you to contact you here because I have a problem with the FS module and I am currently doing a bot discord and directly that FS modifies the Json file an error occurs directly and tells me that there is a problem of argumentation in Json, I try to modify it manually but nothing makes it as if the file was corrupted. I have to delete the json and put it back so that the error disappears.

Someone has a request for this problem?

thank you in advance

Can we see your JSON code?

My JSON contains nothing at all, just the parentheses {}

I mean, the code that uses fs to edit JSON.

Here’s a simple example of how you could use fs to edit JSON:

const fs = require("fs")
const json = require("./your-json-file.json")

// Making the change. 
json.helloWorld = true
json.myArray = [ 1, 2, 3 ]

// Saving back to the file. 
// This overwrites the file at ./your-json-file.json
// with a stringified version of the `json` object. 
fs.writeFileSync("./your-json-file.json", JSON.stringify(json))
