Json parse exception while setting mocks in wiremock

Question

I have the following JSON using as a mock-to-wire mock server. After including this JSON file, on wire mock server start, I am getting the following error

{ "scenarioName": "Retry Scenario", "requiredScenarioState": "Authorized", "newScenarioState": "Started", "id": "28d9932d-20a9-41f1-a05b-2e080029f914", "request": { "urlPathPattern": "/api/Application/Q835YUDX/started", "method": "GET" }, "response": { "status": 200, "headers": { "Connection": "close" }, "transformers": [ "response-template" ] }, "uuid": "28d9932d-20a9-41f1-a05b-2e080029f914" }

Answer 1

0xFEFF is a "ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE", why would you need it in your JSON file?

Just replace that space with normal space 0x0020.
