My response always shows &lt; for all the values inside XML instead of < after the xml formattersnap

I am passing the below input to XML formatter from mapper snap as string to XML formatter snap.

Before XML formatter snap:

"openEngine":

"<items>\n<item \n</item>\n</items>"

After XML Formatter snap:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><openEngine>&lt;items>
&lt;item
&lt;/item>
&lt;/items></openEngine>

Expected Output:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><openEngine><items>
<item
<item>
<items></openEngine>

Please can you advise on this. Thanks in advance!
