"There was an error parsing the JSON document. The document may not be well-formed. Unexpected token 'S', "Skip to ma"... is not valid JSON" error in Sharepoint online even though I am the owner of the site. Every time I make a change and refresh the page or make a change and go to another page the error comes up. I can go into settings and clear the browsing history and then reach the page but the error continues to come up every time a make a change or even just refresh a page. This is our agency intranet and I am constantly updating it. I believe this started happening after the last JSONview update. I have had the JSONview extension enabled for a couple of years, since I have a parse JSON schema in Power Automate that required me to install the extension for file attachments in a Microsoft form. I haven't had any issues until recently. Also, it seems to have an effect on SSO, since every time I clear the browsing history I get signed out of anything using SAML SSO. I do not get the error when I make changes and refresh a page in a private window. Please help!

As of 1/3/2024, the only way around was to disable JSONview extension for edge to resolve this error

Hi @LMcCabe,
As per my research, this error is caused by Power Automate flow. I would suggest you raising a new thread in the Power Automate community: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-Power-Automate/ct-p/MPACommunity. Experts actively monitors threads there.
And I found a thread which includes the solution of the error: Error while parsing JSON: 'Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: A. Path '', line 0, position 0.'. I hope this helps.
Thanks for your understanding.

The flow is actually working fine with no errors. I'm assuming that it's the JSONview extension causing the error because users in the Microsoft Community experiencing the same problem, reported that the problem went away after disabling the JSONview extension. However, I hesitate to disable the extension, since it's being used in my flow. Am I correct in assuming that if I disable the JSONview extension the file upload to the email in my flow will fail?
Yes. As per your description, disabling the JSONview extension the file upload to the email in my flow will fail.
