function A() {
  return {
    'name': "a"
  };
}

function B() {
  return 
  {
    'name': "b"
  };
}

console.log(A());
console.log(B());

On my browser this code generates the following error

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token :

Browser Google Chrome:

Version 74.0.3729.131 (Official Build) (64-bit)

As far as I know JavaScript accepts an end statement after the return statement.

What makes the first return an end statement but not the second?

Please double check that the example produces the same error you see? – evolutionxbox May 14 '19 at 10:34

Yep. Now it fails in Chrome and in the snippet. – Marvin May 14 '19 at 10:37
