Hey guys,

I am not able to see the output from module

 ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/make/original/3X/7/1/717f708421473e59f8da30291431c7d556b1eeaa.png)  
It works on other modules and triggers, tried re opening the editor as well. but still doesn’t work.

Anyone else facing such issues in json parse module?

Here you go :

That’s because your JSON needs to contain:

- either an **array of collections** ,

OR

- a **collection containing an array** (and/or other properties).

Currently, your JSON only contains a simple array (array of primitive type, in this case strings).

```plaintext
[
  "Aarav Sharma",
  "Meera Kapoor",
  "Rohan Mehta",
  "Ishita Verma",
  "Devansh Rao",
  "Sneha Nair",
  "Kabir Joshi",
  "Anaya Desai",
  "Yash Malhotra",
  "Tanya Singh"
]

```

You can simply amend your input to specify an object containing an array variable, like this:

```plaintext
{ "array": [
  "Aarav Sharma",
  "Meera Kapoor",
  "Rohan Mehta",
  "Ishita Verma",
  "Devansh Rao",
  "Sneha Nair",
  "Kabir Joshi",
  "Anaya Desai",
  "Yash Malhotra",
  "Tanya Singh"
]}

```

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Yes, just do as I have suggested above.

My concern is, Why does that shows complete blank while it actually shows the output bubble but not the output window or popup!? isn’t it strange or a bug may be!?

If you’re expecting an error message, then yes that’s a bug.

Like I said, your string is invalid JSON.

You cannot have a top-level array of strings represented in JSON. You can read the technical specification here: [https://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc7159.txt](https://tools.ietf.org/rfc/rfc7159.txt)

A valid JSON text needs to contain:

- either an array **of collections** ,

OR

- **a collection** containing an array (and/or other properties).

You can report the bug of missing error message to Make support. Either way, you should still modify your variable to encapsulate the array in an object, as I have suggested, instead of relying on an error message.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.
