Unexpected end-of-input: expected close marker

I am attempting to parse JSON using the Jackson v2.9.9 Streaming API and I get the follow stack trace:

com.fasterxml.jackson.core.io.JsonEOFException: Unexpected end-of-input: expected close marker for Object (start marker at [Source: (StringReader); line: 1, column: 1])
 at [Source: (StringReader); line: 1, column: 8001]
        at com.fasterxml.jackson.core.base.ParserMinimalBase._reportInvalidEOF(ParserMinimalBase.java:618)
        at com.fasterxml.jackson.core.base.ParserBase._handleEOF(ParserBase.java:485)
        at com.fasterxml.jackson.core.base.ParserBase._eofAsNextChar(ParserBase.java:497)
        at com.fasterxml.jackson.core.json.ReaderBasedJsonParser._skipWSOrEnd(ReaderBasedJsonParser.java:2340)
        at com.fasterxml.jackson.core.json.ReaderBasedJsonParser.nextToken(ReaderBasedJsonParser.java:656)

I have downgraded Jackson down to 2.8 and I still receive the error, verified that the input JSON is valid, and do null checks on the code.

JSON:

{"name":"name", "score":100, "output":[],"images":[],"description":"This is a description"}

Code:

try {
    JsonFactory factory = new JsonFactory();
    String jsonString = "{\"name\":\"name\", \"score\":100, \"output\":[],\"images\":[],\"description\":\"This is a description\"}";
    JsonParser parser = factory.createParser(jsonString);
    JsonToken nextToken = parser.nextToken();
    while (nextToken != null) {

        JsonToken token = parser.getCurrentToken();

        if (parser.getCurrentName() != null) {
            System.out.println("Current Token 1: " + parser.getCurrentName());
        }

        if (token.equals(JsonToken.FIELD_NAME)) {
            String fieldName = parser.getCurrentName();
            parser.nextToken();
            if (parser.getCurrentName() != null) {
                System.out.println("Current Token 2: " + parser.getCurrentName());
            }
            while (parser.nextToken() != JsonToken.END_OBJECT) {
                parser.nextToken();
                if (parser.getCurrentName().equals("name")) {
                    System.out.println("Name: " + parser.getValueAsString());
                }
            }

        }
        parser.close();
    }
} catch (IOException ex) {
    Logger.getLogger(NewIssueExporter.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}

It errors out on line 4:

while(nextToken != null) {

I expect for all the debug messages to print, but they do not after it errors.

When you parse valid JSON you need to think about it like about state machine. You found name - it means: next will be value, etc. You can simplify your code to:

JsonFactory factory = new JsonFactory();
String jsonString = "{\"name\":\"name\", \"score\":100, \"output\":[1,2],\"images\":[\"image1\",\"image2\"],\"description\":\"This is a description\"}";
JsonParser parser = factory.createParser(jsonString);
JsonToken token;
while ((token = parser.nextToken()) != JsonToken.END_OBJECT) {
    if (token == JsonToken.FIELD_NAME) {
        // Found name, lets read value
        System.out.print(parser.getCurrentName() + " = ");
        token = parser.nextToken();
        if (token == JsonToken.VALUE_STRING) {
            System.out.println(parser.getValueAsString());
        } else if (token == JsonToken.VALUE_NUMBER_INT) {
            System.out.println(parser.getValueAsInt());
        } else if (token == JsonToken.START_ARRAY) {
            // Found start array, lets read it all
            System.out.print("[");
            while (parser.nextToken() != JsonToken.END_ARRAY) {
                System.out.print(parser.getText() + ", ");
            }
            System.out.println("]");
        }
    }
}
parser.close();
