Reading in JSON file received error message

I'm new with python and I ran the code below and got this error message. I saw from another similar post that I have two json files? But I don't really understand since I only load one into my jupyter notebook. I tried deleting the json file and reupload it to jupyter notebook but it doesn't work.

How would I be able to fix this? Thank you.

import json

with open('file.json') as f:
    json = json.load(f)
    
print(json)

I received this message:

JSONDecodeError                           Traceback (most recent call last)

      3 with open('file.json') as f:
----> 4     json = json.load(f)
      5 
      6 print(json)

About the error, you should first check whether it is an error in your json file. Consider showing your json file data out here. And according to the error has thrown out, Line 2 has some mistakes
