Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token I in JSON at position 0

[jdkato]

This exception is thrown whenever I open this file in Atom. It's possible that this is an issue with Vale, but I can't reproduce it outside of Atom (it works fine from the CLI and in Sublime Text). The JSON output (see below) also appears to be valid.

Let me know if I can provide anymore information.

Thanks!

Thanks a lot for reporting this. Looks like vale is interpreting the text input as a flag, because it starts with --.

[TimKam]

Wrapping the text input in single quotes fixes this issue. The vale README uses single quotes (instead of only the text input) in its examples, so we can assume my implementation didn't comply with vale's API.
