Recently, while working with the Scala-Play framework, I encountered an error when trying to fetch data from external websites. The line of code in question is
Await.result(xxx, Duration.Inf).jsonJsonParseException: Unexpected character ('<' (code 60))var list:List[String] = List();
var Url = "http://www.xxxxxx"
val Response = ws.url(Url).get()
val data = Await.result(Response, Duration.Inf).json
Any help or insights on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
