Why is the MalformedJsonException thrown?

Question

Java

Hello Can you please tell me why I am getting the following error:

stackoverflow advice didn't help. I am using code:

Gson gson = new Gson();
                ArrayList<ArtistData> artists = gson.fromJson(new String(data, "UTF-8"), new TypeToken<List<ArtistData>>() {
                }.getType());

where data is a filled byte[]. Well, in fact, this is all done in a stream

Answer 1

Weird question. Have you tried outputting your new String(data, "UTF-8") ?
Something tells me that you won't see any json there
