How to test xml request in test event page for AWS Lambda

Question

I have a lambda function and I want to test it using the API Proxy test event page. The problem is when I add the xml inside the body value, i get an error. How do I send xml as the body in a request?

I found the issue in my c# code. It was trying to deserialize the request as JSON Instead of XML. I used an XML Serializer and it works fine.
