-------------------------------------
Okay let's deprecate XML in 3.10, and then remove it after next LTS.
> camel-salesforce: drop support for XML as a serialization format
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CAMEL-16388
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-16388
> Project: Camel
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: camel-salesforce
> Affects Versions: 3.8.0
> Reporter: Jeremy Ross
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 3.x

> Putting this out here for a discussion.
> The salesforce REST APIs support XML and JSON. However, it's clear from the
> official documentation and examples that JSON is the first-class citizen. All
> the examples are in JSON and there's only this one, sad reference to XML
> serialization:
> {quote}XML serialization is similar to SOAP API. XML requests are supported
> in UTF-8 and UTF-16, and XML responses are provided in UTF-8.{quote}
> This leaves us Camel maintainers with the not-fun activity of guessing how
> salesforce expects its myriad types to be serialized to XML.
> I suspect that Camel users don't really care that much which serialization
> format is used. Both have equal parity with salesforce, and as a Camel user I
> just care that Camel serializes and deserializes my DTOs correctly. Wire
> format is an abstraction that shouldn't matter. This is the crux of my
> argument.
> Camel's support for both formats is a maintenance burden, and a barrier to
> developing future features and support for newer APIs. Serialization format
> isn't a concern to users, and supporting both formats is of no real value.
> Therefore, I'd like to consider dropping XML support, leaving JSON as the
> supported format.
> Note that this does not affect the `rawPayload` option. Users would still be
> welcome to provide their own raw payloads in either format.
