Answer 1

Looks like the quote marks are not correct, maybe from copy and pasting from a specifically formatted document or syntax may be wrong.

Try removing/replacing manually or using this:

{
    "FirstName": "blah",
    "LastName": "blah",
    "UserName": "blah",
    "Password": "blah",
    "Email": "[email protected]"
}

In my case the white spaces (tab spaces before properties) had a special encoding, to solve the problem, just delete them and replace them with spaces:

Just click the Beautify button in postman or format the JSON in VSCode or use any JSON formatter in online.
