I might have found a bug with X2TileMap or my settings for Tiled (v1.2.0) are incorrect.

There appears to be a json parsing error on the output file from Tiled and I don't know if it is how I have Tiled set or if I need to call a different parser.

This definition copied from one of the samples works:
B4X:
"ellipse":true,
                 "height":109.333333333333,
                 "id":2,
                 "name":"circle",
                 "properties":
                    {
                     "antialias":true,
                     "body type":"dynamic",
                     "destroy if invisible":true,
                     "graphic file 1":"blue_donut_7.png",
                     "time to live (ms)":5000
                    },
                 "propertytypes":
                    {
                     "antialias":"bool",
                     "body type":"string",
                     "destroy if invisible":"bool",
                     "graphic file 1":"string",
                     "time to live (ms)":"int"
                    },
                 "rotation":0,
                 "type":"x2",
                 "visible":true,
                 "width":112,
                 "x":204,
                 "y":-30.6666666666667

If I load the file containing this definition into Tiled and save it, the definition is re-formatted to:

B4X:
"ellipse":true,
                 "height":109.333333333333,
                 "id":2,
                 "name":"circle",
                 "properties":[
                        {
                         "name":"antialias",
                         "type":"bool",
                         "value":true
                        }, 
                        {
                         "name":"body type",
                         "type":"string",
                         "value":"dynamic"
                        }, 
                        {
                         "name":"destroy if invisible",
                         "type":"bool",
                         "value":true
                        }, 
                        {
                         "name":"graphic file 1",
                         "type":"string",
                         "value":"blue_donut_7.png"
                        }, 
                        {
                         "name":"time to live (ms)",
                         "type":"int",
                         "value":5000
                        }],
                 "rotation":0,
                 "type":"x2",
                 "visible":true,
                 "width":112,
                 "x":204,
                 "y":-30.6666666666667

which causes the following crash log:

Down grading to Tiled v1.1.6 is the workaround. Using v1.2.0 appears to default to the unusable output format.

in the second properties is a List of Maps. Not a Map.

Yes, I've downloaded another version and wasted many time trying to fix the errors ;-(
