    I did some digging into your file and I did manage to generate a JSON response but ONLY as an example!!
    Look at the file in attachement.

    The sole response content type provided by the server is:

    Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8

    and, I guess, this is the reason why it can't be displayed in JSON (message ref here)

Thanks for the support! 

 

I don't even have application/xml as an applicable response content, yet it is still returning XML.

 

I do know that the API is an XML api (abr.business.gov.au/abrxmlsearch/abrxmlsearch.asmx/SearchByABNv202001). Could this be the reason I am only getting XML, or is there a way for Swagger to be able to return it as JSON?
