Error Parsing tmx and JSON file in Android Studio

I'm trying to load a simple map made by Tiled inside my Android studio project. I'm using libGDX to made a simple platform game. In Tiled I've just imported a tileset, created a platform and anything else.

Now I would like to understand in the witch part that I am failing my upload because I am not able to understand why I have this error:

Exception in thread "LWJGL Application" com.badlogic.gdx.utils.SerializationException: Error parsing file: mapassets.json

Here the map .tmx :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</data>

Here is my frustrating mapassets.json(this file is inside assets/mapAssets folder in my project):

{ "columns":10,
 "image":"..\/..\/assets\/mapAssets\/mapassets.png",
 "imageheight":128,
 "imagewidth":128,
 "margin":0,
 "name":"mapassets",
 "spacing":0,
 "tilecount":100,
 "tiledversion":"1.4.3",
 "tileheight":12,
 "tilewidth":12,
 "type":"tileset",
 "version":1.4
}

and here how I load .tmx file:

    @Override
public void create () {
    float w = Gdx.graphics.getWidth();
    float h = Gdx.graphics.getHeight();
    camera = new OrthographicCamera();
    camera.setToOrtho(false,w,h);
    camera.update();
    tiledMap = new TmxMapLoader().load("MyMap.tmx");
    tiledMapRenderer = new OrthogonalTiledMapRenderer(tiledMap);
    Gdx.input.setInputProcessor(this);
}

You get the error because you've saved your tileset as a .json file but the libGDX implementation in TmxMapLoader assumes it's in XML.

You can see that in the source code for TmxMapLoader.

Save your tileset as a .tsx file instead and reference that from your .tmx file and it should work.
