{
"name": "Test the json mode"
"hosts": "cool_columbus",
"tasks": [
{
"name": "First task"
"shell": {
"chdir": "/tmp",
"free_form": "ls -l",
}
}
]
}
]

ansible-playbook test_playbook.json
ERROR! Syntax Error while loading YAML.
expected ',' or '}', but got '<scalar>'
The error appears to have been in

The offending line appears to be:
What am I doing wrong and how to run this ?
Please help.
