  Encoding Issues: The JSON data may contain characters that are not properly encoded, leading to parsing errors.
  
  
  Data Type Mismatches: If the JSON structure does not match the expected data types defined in the target schema, it can lead to parsing failures.
  
  
  Incomplete Data: The JSON data may be truncated or incomplete, which can happen during transmission or due to network issues.

  Review Data Mapping: Verify that the JSON structure matches the expected schema in SAP. Ensure that all required fields are present and correctly typed.
  
  
  Debugging: If possible, enable debugging or logging in the DRF to capture the exact JSON data being processed when the error occurs. This can help identify the specific issue.
  
  
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your data processing logic to gracefully manage and log errors when malformed JSON is detected.
  
  
  Test with Sample Data: Create a small sample of valid JSON data and test it to ensure that the parsing works correctly. Gradually increase the complexity to identify where the issue arises.
