Invalid string in JSON text

[omrishiv]

Hello, I was wondering if you had seen this before:

/Users/admin/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p318/gems/yajl-ruby-1.1.0/lib/yajl.rb:36:in parse': lexical error: invalid string in json text. (Yajl::ParseError) [ { name: "repository_url", type: " (right here) ------^ from /Users/admin/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p318/gems/yajl-ruby-1.1.0/lib/yajl.rb:36:inparse' from argtest.rb:51:in `

'

I get the same error if I'm using 1.8.7

Which file?

Trying to run transform.rb on a JSON. It doesn't reach the JSON, it's complaining about the schema.js

You shouldn't need to run transform - that's internal tooling. Look at the example in the readme for parsing the data:

require 'open-uri'
require 'zlib'
require 'yajl'

gz = open('http://data.githubarchive.org/2012-03-11-12.json.gz')
js = Zlib::GzipReader.new(gz).read

Yajl::Parser.parse(js) do |event|
  print event
end

I'm using it to convert to CSV. I guess I can just go that route
