Hi,

For beginners, the catchphrase is “JSON syntax”.
There are many articles to be found, both short and lengthy.
A small article would be:
https://restfulapi.net/json-syntax/

The main things to look for in your config.js file are:

• does every [ have a matching ]
• are all arrays separated by a , (the last array does not need a ,)
• does every { have a matching }
• are all objects separated by a , (the last object does not need a ,)
• is every name value pair separated by a ,

The syntax checker will try to find out if this syntax is correct and tries to predict where the error could be.
So, when it says it saw a [ and it cannot find a matching ] it tells you what was expected and what it saw.

Try to format you config.js to make it more visible.
For example this:

[{},{}],[{},{[]}]

is better written like this:

[
  {},
  {}
],
[
  {
  },
  {
    [
    ]
  }
]

Pairs of [ ]and { } are better visible like this.

Good luck :-)
