I'll elaborate a bit more on ChrisR awesome answer and bring images from his awesome reference.

A valid JSON always starts with either curly braces { or square brackets [, nothing else.

{ will start an object:

{ "key": value, "another key": value }

Hint: although javascript accepts single quotes ', JSON only takes double ones ".
