Sample code of fail while using iJSON version 1.00

'Code module
#Region  Project Attributes
    #ApplicationLabel: B4i Json
    #Version: 1.0.0
    'Orientation possible values: Portrait, LandscapeLeft, LandscapeRight and PortraitUpsideDown
    #iPhoneOrientations: Portrait, LandscapeLeft, LandscapeRight
    #iPadOrientations: Portrait, LandscapeLeft, LandscapeRight, PortraitUpsideDown
    #Target: iPhone, iPad
    #ATSEnabled: True
    #MinVersion: 7
#End Region

Sub Process_Globals
    'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
    'Public variables can be accessed from all modules.
    Public App As Application
    Public NavControl As NavigationController
    Private Page1 As Page

End Sub

Sub JsonToMap(strJSON As String) As Map
    ' convert a json string to a map
    Dim jMap As Map
    jMap.Initialize
    Dim JSON As JSONParser
    JSON.Initialize(strJSON)
    jMap = JSON.NextObject '<<<< failing
    Return jMap
  
End Sub


Private Sub Application_Start (Nav As NavigationController)
    'SetDebugAutoFlushLogs(True) 'Uncomment if program crashes before all logs are printed.
    NavControl = Nav
    Page1.Initialize("Page1")
    Page1.Title = "Page 1"
    Page1.RootPanel.Color = Colors.White
    NavControl.ShowPage(Page1)
  
    Dim jsonLine As String
    jsonLine = $"{a:"a",b:"b",c:"c",d:"d",e:"e"}"$  
    Log(jsonLine)
          
    JsonToMap(jsonLine)
  
End Sub

Private Sub Page1_Resize(Width As Int, Height As Int)
  
End Sub

Private Sub Application_Background
  
End Sub

EDIT: if the string is jsonLine = $"{"a":"a"}"$ then it works

Why are you creating the json string like this???

You can check your strings with this tool: https://jsonlint.com/
They are not valid.

Correct way:

Dim jg As JSONGenerator
jg.Initialize(CreateMap("a": a, "b": myUserName, _
  "c": myPassword))
Dim jsonstring As String = jg.ToString
