Fix JSONDecodeError
in GraphRAG
✅ Solution
JSONDecodeError usually arises from malformed JSON strings returned by the LLM, often containing invalid control characters or incorrect formatting. To fix this, implement error handling using a `try-except` block to catch the `JSONDecodeError`, then sanitize the LLM response by removing or replacing problematic characters (e.g., using regex to remove control characters) before attempting to decode it again. Ensure the cleaned string consistently adheres to JSON standards before decoding.
