Can data encrypted using crypto-js on node be decrypted using the same module on react?

I have JSON which I have AES encrypt with a secret on Node backend and send it to my React frontend. When I try to decrypt it on the frontend I get an error

"Malformed Utf-8" data error

When the encryption/decryption in their own respective boundaries works as expected. But when I try to make it a cross-platform thing then it fails. So what is the issue here?

Does this answer your question? [PHP json encode - Malformed UTF-8 characters, possibly incorrectly encoded](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46305169/php-json-encode-malformed-utf-8-characters-possibly-incorrectly-encoded) – Michael Nelles Apr 15 '20 at 11:09
No, not really. Like I said within their own boundaries they work fine. When I try to decrypt outside that is when I get the error. – Rahul Thyagaraja Apr 15 '20 at 11:35
