Invalid JSON character when running ng serve

Question

I am getting following error when running ng serve...

PS F:\\Projects\\RecipeApp> ng serve
Invalid JSON character: \"\\\"\" at 76:13.
Error: Invalid JSON char         


        

Answer 1

Check your Angular.json.

It seems that this config file is not correct.

Update for clarification:
A misplaced "/" in the angular.json will create exactly that kind of error.
