  Causes:
  
  Data Format Issues: The data being sent may not conform to the expected schema or format, leading to serialization errors.
  Invalid Characters: Presence of invalid or special characters in the message that cannot be serialized.

  Check Data Format: Ensure that the data being sent adheres to the expected format and schema. Validate the XML or JSON structure against the defined schema.
