How to fix couldn't parse json error:

If you’re using a off site database and free hosting site, 9 times out of 10 it’s because you have a invalid SSL certificate. Usually your hosting service will provide you with one if you ask. The reason it doesn’t ever parse is because you’re using a http protocol for it, even using a https without a valid certificate won’t work either. I had just figured it out after i tried fixing it for 2 hours. Since I use a php/SQL database, and I have a script that displays the json document, I had to get a valid SSL certificate. This was for a ban system. If anyone needs further information I’ll gladly help out.
