Error message
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}', expecting ',' or ';'
What broke
The parser encountered an unexpected '}' character, which suggests that there is a problem with the structure of your code. This usually happens when a block of code is not properly closed or when a comma or semicolon is missing before the closing brace.
Why it broke
The root cause is typically a mismatch in the number of opening and closing braces or a missing delimiter. This can occur if you forget to add a comma between elements in an array or object, or if you accidentally remove a necessary semicolon.
How to fix
To fix this error, carefully review your code to ensure that all opening braces have corresponding closing braces. Check for any missing commas or semicolons in the lines preceding the error.
