Help with JQuery Autocomplete

I have the json in following format.

[{"tag":{"name":"& Awards","id":142}},{"tag":{"name":"& Bisexual Bars","id":207}},{"tag":{"name":"& Clubs","id":40}},{"tag":{"name":"& Imaging","id":1188}}}

and am using the following code

$("#tags_name").autocomplete({
  source: "/companies/autocomplete_tags2.json",
  width: 320,
  dataType: 'json',
  highlight: false,
  scroll: true,
  scrollHeight: 300,
  parse: function(data) {
    var array = new Array();
    for(var i=0; i < data.tag.length; i++){
      array[i] = {data: data.tag[i], value: data.tag[i].value, result: data.tag[i].id };
    }
    return array;
  }
});

when i load the page the error i get is "newUncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input"

What am i missing here?

Your parse function is wrong for the JSON you have. You have an array of Objects in your JSON.

It should be something like

  parse: function(data) {
    var array = new Array();
    for(var i=0; i < data.length; i++){
      array[i] = {data: data[i].tag, value: data[i].tag.name, result: data[i].tag.id };
    }
    return array;
  }
