JSON Error in C:\...\package.json: "dep...'ADoken < in JSON at position 3 while parsing near '{

Question

I've been trying to execute a react native application using npm start. The application used to work but since I've made a pull from GitHub it stopped working, giving me a JSON Error in C:\...\package.json: "dep...'ADoken < in JSON at position 3 while parsing near '{. I've tried all the methods I could find in here, including cleaning the cache, reinstalling all libraries, doing a npm install, reinstalling angular-cli, updating expo-cli and npm, deleting package-lock.json and doing a npm set registry https://registry.npmjs.org/. I've been stuck at this for 3 hours at least, I don't know what to do...

Here's my package.json file:
