Moshi error Expected name at path $.foo.bar

Question

This Moshi error message: com.squareup.moshi.JsonEncodingException: Expected name at path $.foo.bar

is not really very helpful in identifying the cause of the problem.

Answer 1

Turns this is due to a trailing comma in the JSON.

There is a fix in the works but i the meantime it might be helpful to document this here as Googling for the error message did not immediately lead me to the PR.
