Sending request in XML

Hi with the ApifySDK we could export json dataset to xml format like shown with the following format : 
javascript {
    "address": [{
        "@": {
            "type": "home",
        },
        "street": "21st",
        "city": "Chicago",
    },
    {
        "@": {
            "type": "office",
        },
        "#": "unknown",
    }]
}
javascript {
    "address": [{
        "@": {
            "type": "home",
        },
        "street": "21st",
        "city": "Chicago",
    },
    {
        "@": {
            "type": "office",
        },
        "#": "unknown",
    }]
}
Is it possible to use the same format with crawlee to send HTTP request in XML body?

request.payload can be any formatted string, but I guess you will need to add relevant headers, also only use case I can imagine is some third party API, so check original headers as you see in browser

Thanks @Alexey Udovydchenko I just realized XML format used between `` is working in request payload to a third party API.
