   That's the msg attribute of the JSONDecodeError. The full str(error) also includes line and column, which is why the challenge asks for just msg.

      Using error.msg now — matches.

         Didn't know that. Good to know when handling several kinds of bad input.

   Note that JSONDecodeError is a subclass of ValueError, so except ValueError would also catch it. Being specific is clearer though.
