SwaggerRequestResponseValidator fails with XML body

Using SwaggerRequestResponseValidator to validate requests against Swagger specs, validation fails when when request body is an XML.

For example using the pet store specification, and invoking the POST /pet operation, which consumes both application/json and application/xml

/pet: {
  post: {
    ...
    consumes: [
      "application/json",
      "application/xml"
    ],
    ...
    parameters: [
      {
      in: "body",
      name: "body",
      description: "Pet object that needs to be added to the store",
      required: true,
      schema: {
        $ref: "#/definitions/Pet"
      }
    ...
}

I get the following error when request body is an XML:

Unable to parse JSON - Unexpected character ('<' (code 60)): expected a valid value (number, String, array, object, 'true', 'false' or 'null')
     at [Source: <Pet><name>doggie</name><photoUrls>http://localhost:8080/doggie.jpg</photoUrls></Pet>; line: 1, column: 2].: []

On the other side, if request body is a JSON, request is correctly validated, as you can see in attached test class.
