Q:

Passing JSON data array in cfhttpparam's value

I am trying to pass the JSON data in the value of cfhttpparam as follows:
Line #95: <cfhttpparam type="formfield" 
name="seriesofdata" 
value="[{"Id": 118,"Value": 1,"Desc": "Checking Description ","Group": 1}]"/> 

But I keep on getting the following error:
Invalid token " found on line 95 at column XX.

I have checked the JSON and it's valid JSON that I am passing as a value.
What am I doing wrong?

A:

So this is certainly valid JSON:
{"Id": 118,"Value": 1,"Desc": "Checking Description ","Group": 1}

However you're wrapping it inside " " so the first " in your JSON packet will look like a closing " to the cfhttpparam value
<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="seriesofdata" value="[{"Id": 118,"Value": 1,"Desc": "Checking Description ","Group": 1}]"/>
                                                           ^

Looks to CF like you're doing:
<cfhttpparam 
    type="formfield" 
    name="seriesofdata" 
    value="[{"
    Id": 118,"Value": 1,"Desc": "Checking Description ","Group": 1}]"
/>  

That whole last bit just looks like garbage, hence the 'Invalid token' error.
Just either escape those " or use single-quotes instead, either in the JSON or in the CFML.
<cfhttpparam type="formfield" name="seriesofdata" value='[{"Id": 118,"Value": 1,"Desc": "Checking Description ","Group": 1}]'>
