    <p>I'm getting the Invalid Character error at line 12565 of Breeze 1.1.2's breeze.debug.js. The line is:</p> <pre><code>var metadata = JSON.parse(data); </code></pre> <p>I've researched this error message and the best suggestions I've seen are having unescaped single or double quotes, or invalid characters. But, I can't find either in the response.</p> <p>I'm using BreezeJS to make the request and process the response. The response is being generated by Breeze.WebApi.EFContextProvider.Metadata(). I'm using IE11 on Windows 8.1. The server generating the response is IIS Express 8. I captured the request and response with Fiddler. </p> <p>Can anyone see what's wrong with the response?</p> <p>Request:</p> <pre><code>GET http://localhost/RisingTide.API/breeze/scheduledpayments/Metadata HTTP/1.1 X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest Accept: application/json, text/javascript, */*; q=0.01 Referer: http://localhost/RisingTide.Web/#/scheduledpayments Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; Trident/7.0; Touch; rv:11.0) like Gecko Host: localhost DNT: 1 Connection: Keep-Alive </code></pre> <p>Response:</p> <pre><code>HTTP/1.1 200 OK Cache-Control: no-cache Pragma: no-cache Content-Length: 862 Content-Type: application/json Expires: -1 Server: Microsoft-IIS/8.5 X-AspNet-Version: 4.0.30319 X-Powered-By: ASP.NET Date: Sun, 15 Sep 2013 03:37:14 GMT {"schema":{"namespace":"RisingTide.API.Models","alias":"Self","d4p1:UseStrongSpatialTypes":"false","xmlns:d4p1":"http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2009/02/edm/annotation","xmlns":"http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2009/11/edm","cSpaceOSpaceMapping":"[[\"RisingTide.API.Models.ScheduledPayment\",\"RisingTide.API.Models.ScheduledPayment\"]]","entityType":{"name":"ScheduledPayment","key":{"propertyRef":{"name":"Id"}},"property":[{"name":"Id","type":"Edm.Int32","nullable":"false","d4p1:StoreGeneratedPattern":"Identity"},{"name":"Description","type":"Edm.String","fixedLength":"false","maxLength":"4000","unicode":"true","nullable":"true"},{"name":"Amount","type":"Edm.Decimal","precision":"18","scale":"2","nullable":"false"}]},"entityContainer":{"name":"ScheduledPaymentsDbContext","entitySet":{"name":"ScheduledPayments","entityType":"Self.ScheduledPayment"}}}} </code></pre>

    1. COI'd like to see how BreezeJS is actually handling the response. I've got a hunch that "data" might have already been parsed by BreezeJS and is a JavaScript object, not a string. What do you get when you do console.log(data)?

    2. COI second Adam, could you screenshot `console.log(data)`? JSON.parse wont work if object keys have colon. But the site http://learn.breezejs.com/ seems to parse this http://learn.breezejs.com/api/northwind/Employees GET request quite easily...

    3. COAdam, naveen, you're right, data is already an object. Console.log(data) gives "undefined", while console.log(data.schema.alias) gives "Self". Any ideas what's triggered this? I'm guessing something I've done, like my use of metadataStore.registerEntityTypeCtor

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
