When reading a JSON file, ensure the file is actually a valid JSON file and hasn't been corrupted. Check the file encoding (UTF-8 is generally recommended). Verify that the file path is correct and that your program has the necessary permissions to read the file. Also, make sure there are no hidden characters (like BOM - Byte Order Mark) at the beginning of the file.
