  Causes:
  
  Empty XML File: The XML file being processed is empty, which means there are no tags or data to read.
  Incorrect XML Schema: The XML file does not conform to the expected XML schema. This could mean that the required tags are missing, or the structure of the XML does not match what the system expects.
  Malformed XML: The XML file may be improperly formatted, containing syntax errors that prevent it from being parsed correctly.
  File Path Issues: The file path specified for the XML file may be incorrect, leading to the system not being able to locate the file.

  Solutions:
  
  
  Check the XML File:
  
  Open the XML file and ensure it is not empty.
  Validate the XML structure against the expected schema. You can use XML validation tools to check for compliance with the schema.
  Ensure that all required tags are present and correctly formatted.
  
  
  
  Correct Malformed XML:

  Test with Sample XML:
  
  If possible, test the process with a known good XML file that conforms to the expected schema to determine if the issue is with the specific XML file or the processing logic.
