@CEHJ: Data is huge and sensitive, is there any way that I can find out the 894195 th character.

You could put the string in a file and use an editor that shows the offset

@CEHJ: I used editplus, but couldn't figure it out. Is there any better editor?

cmalakar

notepad++, textpad are other good text editors.

@CEHJ,cmalakar:

I figured out the location:

["A","B","C","O","E","null","null"]

["A","B","C"," ","E","null","null"]

In the first JSON String at character "O", but in the second string at the same location. its empty string.
because of that empty string I am getting an exception.

Please advice.
