****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ****** The error message "Error Parsing XML: The reference to entity must end with the ';' delimiter" typically occurs when you are trying to parse an XML string that is not properly formatted. This error is common when there is an unescaped character, such as an ampersand (&), in the XML string. In XML, certain characters are reserved and must be escaped. For example, the ampersand (&) must be escaped as

&

. If these characters are not properly escaped, the XML parser will throw an error. Here are some steps you can take to resolve this issue: 1. Check your XML string for any unescaped characters. You can use an XML validation tool to help with this. 2. If you find any unescaped characters, replace them with the correct escaped version. For example, replace any ampersands (&) with

&

. 3. If you are generating the XML string dynamically, ensure that any data being inserted into the string is properly escaped. Remember, it's important to always validate your XML before trying to parse it to avoid these types of errors.
