I keep receiving this error message when I open Atom. i have tried looking into it but I can't seem to find where the error message is? Am I missing out something in the JSON file?

This is the JSON file. Am I completely blind or am I missing something?
{
"name": "my-package",
"main": "./lib/my-package",
"version": "0.0.0",
"description": "A short description of your package",
"keywords": [
],
},
{
"repository": "https://github.com/atom/my-package",
"license": "MIT",
"engines": {
"atom": ">=1.0.0 <2.0.0"
},
"dependencies": {
}
}

Hi guy the problem is because the structure of JSON file is wrong.
Try it this.
{
"name": "my_package",
"version": "1.0.0",
"main": "index.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo"
},
"keywords": [],
"author": "ag_dubs",
"license": "ISC",
"repository": {
"type": "git",
"url": "https://github.com/someone/my_package.git"
},
"bugs": {
"url": "https://github.com/someone/my_package/issues"
},
"homepage": "https://github.com/someone/my_package"
}

This is going to be very difficult for us to troubleshoot, because your objects structure is incorrect. Here is a valid json object. (this may not be correct)
{
"name": "my-package",
"main": "./lib/my-package",
"version": "0.0.0",
"description": "A short description of your package",
"keywords": [],
"repository": "https://github.com/atom/my-package",
"license": "MIT",
"engines": {
"atom": ">=1.0.0 <2.0.0"
},
"dependencies": {}
}
Your code is showing incomplete json to begin with so I'm going to assume you mean to add { at the top. An object must be reproducable. The json you provided is not reproducable as shown below.
{
{
"name": "my-package",
"main": "./lib/my-package",
"version": "0.0.0",
"description": "A short description of your package",
"keywords": [
],
}, //this indicates you are ending the object that has the "name" property
//but then look below, now your next object doesn't start with a name property.
//If you truly want separate objects. You should name each of them, so they are properties of the parent.

"repository": "https://github.com/atom/my-package",

"atom": ">=1.0.0 <2.0.0"
},
"dependencies": {
}
}

Try this, it may help:
{
"name": "my-package",
"main": "./lib/my-package",
"version": "0.0.0",
"description": "A short description of your package",
"keywords": []
},
{
"repository": "https://github.com/atom/my-package",
"license": "MIT",
"engines":
{
"atom": ">=1.0.0 <2.0.0"
}
},
{
"dependencies": {}
}
