   why does editing json files and then saving them in the default text editor that comes with linux mint seem to corrupt them?

     Line endings encoding would be my guess too.

     TL;DR Unix standard is \n, DOS standard is \r and those inherited.

     @eniko changing the encoding? Changing the line endings? Adding a byte order marking?

     Or is it literally just saving out garbage?

     @HauntedOwlbear @alexhammy @bearmine it's not line endings, that's why i'm confused https://peoplemaking.games/@eniko/113041671827833620
