Ruby on Rails JSON.parse "unexpected token" error

Question

I am trying to parse JSON data in my Rails 4 application with JSON.parse. I keep getting this error:

757: unexpected token at '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Error><Code>AccessDenied</Code><Message>Access Denied</Message><RequestId>BB0CDD4F68DBE9C0</RequestId><HostId>SwLqpcx7wpspbYzXONm1XGRG46dGHxnDroplppsxqtU4v/iVwEGOvpRWpBNR+LMPduTldva/5Nk=</HostId></Error>'

Looks like response isn't in the json format. Did you look at error message? — Roman Kiselenko

Questions that ask "please help me" tend to be looking for highly localised guidance, or in some cases, ongoing or private assistance, which is not suited to our Q&A format. It is also rather vague, and is better replaced with a more specific question. Please read Why is “Can someone help me?” not an actual question? — halfer

Further pro tip: adding this to your questions gives the appearance of begging and pleading, and you may get better responses if you keep your posts short and to the point. — halfer

Looks like error response is not returned as JSON. You could do something like:

def reviews
  JSON.parse(reviews_json)['Reviews']
rescue JSON::ParserError
  []
end
