Bro, I feel you. The "expecting value" error haunted me for days. Turns out, my JSON had trailing commas or unescaped quotes.
Quick fix: Use `with open('file.json', 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f` to avoid encoding issues. Also, `simplejson` is a more forgiving alternative to the standard `json` module.
