Creating JSON shows error Invalid characters found

Hi am trying to create a JSON Object but it shows error invalid characters found this is my JSON.

{
    "title":"Biology",
    "content":"Egg period: 4 -6 days \n
           Eggs laid in cracks and crevices of the loose bark on the trunk \n
            Eggs: ovoid or elliptical and dirty white in colour \n
            Adult :Reddish brown in colour",
    "isSubtitle":"N"
  }

Please help to fix this and explain the cases of invalid characters in making JSON will be helpful.

This is an invalid JSON format , content shouldn't have line feed character so you should despecialize it to be \\n. So the valid format is : 

{
    "title": "Biology",
    "content": "Egg period: 4 -6 days \\n Eggs laid in cracks and crevices of the loose bark on the trunk \\n Eggs: ovoid or elliptical and dirty white in colour \\n Adult: Reddish brown in colour ",
    "isSubtitle": "N"
}

Line breaks in a JSON String must be escaped to \n. JSON can take any-Unicode-character-except-"-or--or-control-character. Your JSON should look like this:

{
    "title": "Biology",
    "content": "Egg period: 4 -6 days \n Eggs laid in cracks and crevices of the loose bark on the trunk \n Eggs: ovoid or elliptical and dirty white in colour \n Adult :Reddish brown in colour",
    "isSubtitle": "N"
}

Try to validate with jsonlint.com for the future.
