javascript - Manifest is not Valid JSON. What is wrong? - Stack Overflow

My manifest is shown down below. I'm not sure why Google Chrome always says that it is not a valid JSON and Dictionary Keys are not quoted. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

{
    "name": "Auto Add to Cart",
    "version": "1.2",
    "manifest_version": 2,
}

• 1 You should check out JSONLint, it's a great tool for validating JSON. – ixchi Commented Aug 11, 2013 at 19:45
• This looks like someone created their JSON as a string in a loop. – Paul Commented Aug 11, 2013 at 19:46
• @Paul As it's a manifest for a Chrome extension, it's probably just bad copy-pasta. – Denys Séguret Commented Aug 11, 2013 at 20:01
• Still get the same message from Google Chrome. Even after fixing what was wrong. – user2672984 Commented Aug 11, 2013 at 22:23

You can't have a trailing ma in JSON. Remove the ma after the 2.

Here's how an object is defined :
