I have a reasonably large payload coming back via a java rest service as json (about 3,000 records of fairly lightweight objects). Jax-RS and JaxB are sorting out the json side for me, so I doubt it is an error in the json being returned.
The json file itself looks fine when I call the rest resource directly and view the payload in notepad++, and there are no rouge characters such as carriage returns etc in the underlying SQL tables.

I started to play around with the data. Deleting everything starting with A in a particular field, then B....to see if I could narrow it down to a particular set of records.
I got to deleting everything starting with S and the angular side started working.
So I reloaded the data. Deleted everything starting with S....and tried again, and it failed. So I suspect it is nothing to do with the Json being returned, but the size of the payload.
I appreciate I could use server side paging, but my concern is more around why isnt this working? I want to actually fully load the 3,000 objects into the application on application startup - but it isn't working....for no obvious reason that I can see.

--UPDATE: was advised to use JSONLINT.
Got this error:
Parse error on line 23:
... "projectNm": "(Delete) A
-----------------------^
Expecting 'STRING', 'NUMBER', 'NULL', 'TRUE', 'FALSE', '{', '['
Not sure I understand why, as it looks OK:
{
"approvedPriority": "UNKNOWN",
"disease": "UNKNOWN",
"diseaseArea": "UNKNOWN",
"dpomBpomPhase": "UNKNOWN",
"imed": "UNKNOWN",
"jtastRanking": "UNKNOWN",

"programCategoryDesc": "UNKNOWN",
"projectCode": "UNKNOWN",
"projectNm": "(Delete) Analytical Productivity (Delete)",
"projectSk": 562,
"projectType": "UNKNOWN",
"therapyArea": "UNKNOWN"
},
UPDATE 2:
OK, database value looks fine. However when I copy the value from the json results into a text editor, the process of getting it returned over the wire by JaxB has introduced rogue characters....so I have a record with "My - Name" and when I copy the value out into notepad++ it says "My !! Name" with some weird character introduced to replace the " - ". Other values with hyphens have come over fine. The record is fine at the DB end...whats happening here? Why would Jersey decide to mangle some of the outputs??
UPDATE 3:
Looping through the characters in one of the offending items. What looks like a " - " in the database, when pasted into Excel and having the Ascii characters examined is coming up with ASCii code 150 which is a non printable character??
