JSONArray.length() returns wrong length in Android Studio

I am parsing a JSON string that has an array of 5 JSON objects. Though, when I call the JSONArray .length() method, it returns 6 instead of 5. Any clue why this is so? Thanks.

Here is the JSON string:

String jsonStr = 
   "["
                + "{"
                + " \"deptNbr\": 1, "
                + " \"catgNbr\": 120,"
                + " \"catgDesc\": \"COLD CEREAL\","
                + " \"modSect\": 13,"
                + " \"locationId\": \"0001\"," 
                + " \"upc\": \"2200001654\"," 
                + " \"primeItemNbr\": 553279324,"
                + " \"itemNbr\": \"1\","

                + "\"xCoord\": 17 "
                + " }," +
 "]";

Here is where I create the JSONArray object and call the length() method:

try{
   JSONArray cerealArray = new JSONArray(jsonStr);
   Log.d(LOGTAG,"cerealArray.length(): " + cerealArray.length());
}catch(JSONException e){
   Log.e("JSONException: ", "failed to read jsonString");
}

In my logcat:

D/ImageTargetRenderer: planogramArray.length(): 6

That's because of the last ',' in your JSON

                + " }," +

remove that and it should be ok
