I can parse the file data you provided:
STON fromString:
'{#entryName:''Housekeeping'',#entryDate:Date[''2021-02-25Z''],#transactionID:''2021022501'',#entryAmount:-400/1s8,#entryCategory:''Housekeeping'',#entryDescription:''Housekeeping'',#match:nil}ousekeeping'',#match:nil}'
"a Dictionary(#entryAmount->-400.00000000s8 #entryCategory->'Housekeeping'
#entryDate->25 February 2021 #entryDescription->'Housekeeping'
#entryName->'Housekeeping' #match->nil #transactionID->'2021022501' )"
(BTW, this is STON not JSON).
What I do see in the input is junk after the last }
That can happen when you overwrite an existing file with shorter content. You
should truncate such a file.
From your screenshot I can see nothing wrong, #entryAmount seems an existing
key in aDict, that should just work.
