[FIXED] How can I solve this syntax error in my JSON object?

Issue

First and foremost, I'd like to address that JSON is fairly new to me so expect my code to look faulty. I have a JSON object that defines two clubs: "Oak Club" and "Bravo Club" with its members. Note, that this code was written in Python.

Here is the JSON object:

json_clubs = {
    "clubs": [
        {
            "Oak Club": {
                    "members": [
                        "Charles",
                        "Nora",
                        "Tom",
                        "Paul"
                        ]
                    }
            }
    ],
    [
        {
            "Bravo Club": {
                "members": [
                    "Nathaniel",
                    "Roselyn",
                    "Ash"
                    ]
                }
            }
        ]
    }

This code raises the syntax error: ':' expected after dictionary key.

VSCode highlights the "clubs" key-value pair and states: End of file expected.

After inspecting my code, I can't seem to figure out where I went wrong since all my keys have colons separating keys from their values.

Solution

You are trying to map clubs to two separate arrays (each containing a single object), rather than a single array with two objects.

json_clubs = {
    "clubs": [
        {
            "Oak Club": {
                    "members": [
                        "Charles",
                        "Nora",
                        "Tom",
                        "Paul"
                        ]
                    }
        },
        {
            "Bravo Club": {
                "members": [
                    "Nathaniel",
                    "Roselyn",
                    "Ash"
                    ]
                }
        }
    ]
}
