Error in deserializing the XML data in C#

I have a SVG file in XML format i am trying to deserialize XML to C# objects but when trying to deserialize XML data it is giving error

Below is my code

XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(List<rootobject>));
object objectList = null;
using (StreamReader stream = new StreamReader(@"C:\Users\sana-user\Documents\Visual Studio 
      2015\Projects\SVGXMLToJsonApp\SVGXMLToJsonApp\File\3rect.svg"))
{
      objectList = serializer.Deserialize(stream);
}
 Console.WriteLine(objectList);

Tried many things but i am not getting why this error is coming. Can anyone please help me out to solve this error. I am stuck with this error since a week an unable to solve it.

Your XML serializer is set up for a type "typeof(List<rootobject>))" - unless you're not sharing the full code, I would expect that to be typeof(svg).

I suspect there's another problem but that's your first one.
