I am after a way to see which characters are causing the JSON.parse call to fail with this error. If I can find out which characters are wrong I can try figure out why it's happening.

It tells you the position of the character

yeah, not really helpful

#

i think the problem i'm facing is my sequence of bytes only makes sense if you decode it as utf8 but im not sure how to address that in js

i figured it out. needed to call new TextDecoder().decode(bytes) and then i can parse it just fine

Where do these bytes come from?
