Swagger xml attribute representation

Swagger lacks representing xml with attributes properly. I think the problem is OpenApi only considered key/value pair each element just like JSON.

Is there any plan to fix it.

Example of xml
<MESSAGE att1="Name" att2="DOB"></MESSAGE>

And in Swagger UI 'Try it out' section failed to accept and set the values on attributes of the xml

    Hi WT 

     

    XML is supported by OpenAPI, take a look at https://swagger.io/docs/specification/data-models/representing-xml/.  Here is your example written down...

     

    openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: XML Example
  description: XML Example
  version: "0.1"

paths:
  /foo:
    post:
      requestBody:
        content:
          application/xml:
            schema:
              $ref: '#/components/schemas/Message'
      responses:
        '201':
          description: Created
          content:
            application/xml:
              schema:
                $ref: '#/components/schemas/Message'
    
components:
  schemas:
    Message: 
      type: object
      xml: 
        name: MESSAGE
      properties:
        att1:
          type: string
          example: Name
          xml:
            attribute: true
        att2:
          type: string
          example: DOB
          xml:
            attribute: true
