iText7: Unable to read license key json file

I am trying to load the license file of iText7 in my Dot Net application (C# programming language). I have given the correct path to the json file using the syntax mentioned below.

LicenseKey.LoadLicenseFile(new FileStream(@"pathtofile\iTextKey.json", FileMode.Open));

The error message I get is:

Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.
   at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Throw(Exception e)
   at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Throw(String res, String arg)
   at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.ParseRootLevelWhitespace()
   at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.ParseDocumentContent()
   at System.Xml.XmlTextReaderImpl.Read()
   at System.Xml.XmlLoader.Load(XmlDocument doc, XmlReader reader, Boolean preserveWhitespace)
   at System.Xml.XmlDocument.Load(XmlReader reader)
   at iText.License.Util.XmlWorker..ctor(Stream stream)
   at iText.License.LicenseKey.LoadLicenseFileInternal(Stream licenseIs)
   at iText.License.LicenseKey.LoadLicenseFile(Stream licenseIs)

I verified the JSON file and it looks okay to me.

Any help to resolve this issue will be of great help.

As you can read from the stack trace, it's trying to parse the file as XML.

See docs:

However, if you have a JSON license key file, see the instructions for iText 7.2.x.

Install iText 7.2.
