Hi Prasanth,

Generally, this is because of sending the wrong JSON format on URL using the client. Just check your JSON data which you are trying to send over URL. If you get this kind of exception. Then You just make sure that data is in the correct JSON format!

I found the below implementation that had a similar issue and there is the best answer you can try checking.
