RestAssured Automation: Getting JsonGroovyExeption while run. Any possible solution for the same?

Question

I am new to RestAssured. So tried a simple example. I have tried it in Eclipse. I am getting the jsonException saying

Lexing failed on line: 1, column: 1, while reading '<', no possible valid JSON value or punctuation could be recognized.

What is this '<' ? where it came from I didn't understand.

Here is the code:

package Demo;

import static org.hamcrest.Matchers.equalTo;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
import groovy.json.JsonException;
import io.restassured.RestAssured;
import static io.restassured.RestAssured.given;

public class AddPlace {
    
    @Test
    public void add_Place() throws JsonException
    {
        
        
        RestAssured.baseURI="https://rahulshettyacademy.com";
        
        given().
        queryParam("key","AIzaSyAck44GPimBLLP7IEgaFHqzweemHonUDjk").
        body("{" + 
                "\"location\":" + 
                "\"lat\": -38.383494," + 
                "\"lng\": 33.427362" + 
                "}," + 
                "\"accuracy\": 50," + 
                "\"name\": \"Frontline house\"," + 
                "\"phone_number\": \"(+91) 983 893 3937\"," + 
                "\"address\": \"29, side layout, cohen 09\"," + 
                "\"types\":[" + 
                "\"shoe park\"," + 
                "\"shop\"" + 
                "]," + 
                "\"website\":\"http://google.com\"," + 
                "\"language\":\"French-IN\"" + 
                "}").
        when().
        post("maps/api/place/add/json").
        then().assertThat().statusCode(200).and().
          body("status", equalTo("OK"));
    }
}

For the above program I got the output like this:

An open bracket `{` is missing after `"location" :`, check your payload or use the below `.body("{" + "\"location\":" + "{" + "\"lat\": -38.383494," + "\"lng\": 33.427362" + "}," + "\"accuracy\": 50," + "\"name\": \"Frontline house\"," + "\"phone_number\": \"(+91) 983 893 3937\"," + "\"address\": \"29, side layout, cohen 09\"," + "\"types\":[" + "\"shoe park\"," + "\"shop\"" + "]," + "\"website\":\"http://google.com\"," + "\"language\":\"French-IN\"" + "}")` — Wilfred Clement, Jun 24 '20 at 17:42
I would suggest you to add `.log().all()` and check the request traffic, Take the payload and validate on jsonlint.com — Wilfred Clement, Jun 24 '20 at 17:48
@WilfredClement Thanks a lot. Because of one `{` I faced this problem. — Ansuman Prasad Pati, Jun 25 '20 at 09:13
