All you suggest I had already tried. Without indent, same result. dumping an xml file, same thing. The only thing I didn't try was loading it in a different project.
I am doing all this on Windows 7 on the same machine.

E.g.:Are there non-ASCII characters in any of the strings? (Encodings could differ.)If two boxes, is one Windows and the other not? (Line boundaries differ, though I would hope that the json tools would be proof against that.)Try again without the indent (just for grins).Are the two systems on the same box, or did you have to transfer it over a network, or via a flash drive, or the like?

Bill,This is are the exact steps I follow:python manage.py dumpdata --indent=4 > fixtures/data.jsonpython manage.py loaddata fixtures/data.jsonThat is when I get:DeserializationError: No JSON object could be decodedI checked the json code using http://jsonlint.com/ and it was reported as being valid. (The json code is reproduced at the end of this post for your info)I openned the file using Notepad++, copied it all into regular Notepad.exe and then saved it as a new json file. When I do the loaddata command with that new file it works just fine.When I copy paste the code from Notepad.exe back into a new file on Notepad++ and save that, the resultant file works just fine as well.This link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8732799/django- suggested that the unicode text file needed to be converted to ascii. It was also pointed out that the file in a hexeditor should start with 5B and not any other byte. Sure enough, in the hexeditor, the file straight from the dump began with FF FE, but the notepad saved json file began with 5B. Could it be my setup that is at fault producing the wrong json file dump?fixtures-jsondecodeerror [{"pk": 1,"model": "books.publisher","fields": {"state_province": "MA","city": "Cambdridge","name": "O'Reilly Media","country": "USA","website": "www.oreilly.com","address": "73 Prince Street"}},{"pk": 2,"model": "books.publisher","fields": {"state_province": "CA","city": "Bakersfield","name": "Randomn House","country": "USA","website": "www.randomn.com","address": "234 Hollywood Boulevard"}},{"pk": 3,"model": "books.publisher","fields": {"state_province": "NY","city": "New York","name": "Pearson Vue","country": "USA","website": "www.pearson.com","address": "1 Wall Street"}},{"pk": 1,"model": "books.author","fields": {"first_name": "Eric","last_name": "Meyer","email": ""}},{"pk": 2,"model": "books.author","fields": {"first_name": "Seth","last_name": "Meyer","email": ""}},{"pk": 3,"model": "books.author","fields": {"first_name": "Vincent","last_name": "Meyer","email": ""}},{"pk": 1,"model": "books.book","fields": {"publisher": 1,"authors": [1],"isbn": 123456789,"publication_date": null,"title": "CSS: The Definitive Guide"}},{"pk": 2,"model": "books.book","fields": {"publisher": 3,"authors": [2],"isbn": 987654321,"publication_date": null,"title": "Primer on Banking"}},{"pk": 3,"model": "books.book","fields": {"publisher": 2,"authors": [1,2],"isbn": 543216789,"publication_date": null,"title": "Frolicking on the Beach"}}]

I have a production application which runs MySQL on one server and a development machine which runs SQLite. I simple executed ./manage.py dumpdata > file.json on the production machine, but when I execute ./manage.py loaddata file.json I get the error:ValueError: No JSON object could be decodedI would appreciate some sort of trouble shooting direction, as I could not find anything that would help me in the docs.
