json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

Question

I am trying to import a file which was saved using json.dumps and contains tweet coordinates:

{
    \"type\": \"Point\", 
    \"coordinates\": [
            


        

Answer 1

I had similar error: "Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)"

It helped for me to add "myfile.seek(0)", move the pointer to the 0 character

with open(storage_path, 'r') as myfile:
if len(myfile.readlines()) != 0:
    myfile.seek(0)
    Bank_0 = json.load(myfile)
