+When using JSON you might run into the following error:
+```
+JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)
+```
+This error could have appeared because you just created the JSON file and there is nothing in it at the moment.
+
+Whilst having the data empty is no problem, the file itself may never be completely empty. You most likely want one of the following in your json
+```
+object
+array
+```
+An object is the most common of the 2, and is created by editing your file to read `{}`.
+
+Different data types are also supported. If you wish to read more on these, please reffer to the following article: https://www.tutorialspoint.com/json/json_data_types.htm
