Getting error: Uncaught SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 3 column 1 of the JSON data – In this almost valid code – Shopify

For the following code getting output

$response=array();
    
$response['wheel_deg_end'] = (360*(ceil($wheel->wheel_spin_time/3))) + (360 - (($wheel_slice_number * 30) - 30)) + rand(-5,5);
$response['wheel_time_end'] = $wheel->wheel_spin_time * 1000;
$response['success'] = true;
                    
$ab = json_encode($response,JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK);
echo $ab;

    "{"wheel_deg_end":1743,"wheel_time_end":10000,"success":true}" is not a valid json string.

    Which should be {"wheel_deg_end":1743,"wheel_time_end":10000,"success":true}

    Set the content type to json:

    jQuery.ajax({
  url: couponspining_ajaxurl,
  type: "POST",
  contentType: "application/json",
  data: {
    action: "couponspining_wheel_run",
    form_data: form_data,
    preview_key: this.preview_key
  },
  context: this
}).done(function(json) {
  this.submit_form_done(jQuery.parseJSON(json));
});

    Simply change the parse json line from

    this.submit_form_done(jQuery.parseJSON(json));

    to

    this.submit_form_done(json);

    Because if the configuration of your AJAX call is having dataType: json you’ll get a JavaScript object so it’s no longer necessary to use JSON.parse().
