Error: AWS CLI DynamoDB Error Parsing Parameter

Answered by Rafal Wilinski
What's Causing This Error
This error can occur when you use a JSON file with syntax issues.
Solution: Here's How To Resolve It
Try wrapping the content with double quotations if you use single quotations. If it doesn't work, try removing the quotes at the JSON file's beginning and end. Sometimes, this error can occur due to backslashes, so if you have any in your JSON, try removing them.
