PowerShell ConvertFrom-Json conversion error - json

Question

My PowerShell ConvertFrom-Json for the below throws the "Invalid JSON primitive" error.
{
"ScriptEndTime": "19 April 2022 10:26:32",
"AbortReason": "Server Offline",
"Server": "Server3",
"ScriptStartTime": "19 April 2022 10:25:55",
"Notes": "",
"NumberOfReboots": 0,
"Abort": true,
"UserAccount": "Contoso\\ContosoAdmin"
} {
"OS": "Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard",
"Abort": false,
"KB5011560": "Succeeded",
"Server": "Server4.contoso.co.uk",
"IPAddress": "3.3.3.3"
}
I even tried to validate the above using jsonlint.com and it shows Expecting 'EOF', '}', ',', ']', got '{' error
What am I missing? Thanks.
Update: 20/04/2022
Below is what was happening internally in my case:
$MyHt1 = #{}
$MyHt1.Server = "Server1"
$MyHt1.StartTime = '1/1/2021 09:30:30 AM'
$MyHt1."" = "Succeeded" #my script was setting empty key here which is the source of the issue
$MyHt2 = #{}
$MyHt2.Server = "Server2"
$MyHt2.StartTime = '2/2/2022 09:30:30 PM'
$MyHt2."KB54231" = "Pending"
$JsonOutputArray = #($MyHt1, $MyHt2 | Foreach-Object { ConvertTo-Json -InputObject $_ })
$JsonOutputArray | Out-String | ConvertFrom-Json #throws runtime error here due to empty key
Looks like PowerShell hash table allows an empty key. That was the root cause of this issue which later resulted in runtime error during json conversion. Interestingly, ConvertTo-Json allows empty hash table key but fails with ConvertFrom-Json

Those are two separate JSON files to add them in one JSON file you should ad them in one bracket {} and the other items are separated by ","
as the following :
{
name1:{
"ScriptEndTime": "19 April 2022 10:26:32",
"AbortReason": "Server Offline",
"Server": "Server3",
"ScriptStartTime": "19 April 2022 10:25:55",
"Notes": "",
"NumberOfReboots": 0,
"Abort": true,
"UserAccount": "Contoso\\ContosoAdmin"
},
name2:{
"OS": "Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard",
"Abort": false,
"KB5011560": "Succeeded",
"Server": "Server4.contoso.co.uk",
"IPAddress": "3.3.3.3"
}
}
