I'm trying to use the XML content negotiation, but...

I'm trying to use the XML content negotiation, but it just fails without it making sense. I'm getting this error, and the firstname field does exist.

Could not find a field for name Attendee/FirstName
  candidates: firstname, middleInitial, lastname, suffix, title, company, externalId, custom1, custom2, custom3, custom4, custom5, custom6, custom7, custom8, custom9, custom10, custom11, custom12, custom13, custom14, custom15, custom16, custom17, custom18, custom19, custom20, custom21, custom22, custom23, custom24, custom25 at position Line number = 3

I have tried renaming the firstname to FirstName , but it still won't find it and just give the same error.

@Serializable
data class MyTest(val myTestNested: MyTestNested)
@Serializable
data class MyTestNested(val value: String? = "")

@Test
fun veryBasicTest() {
    val content = """
        <MyTest>
            <MyTestNested>
                <Value>Hello World</Value>
            </MyTestNested>
        </MyTest>
    """.trimIndent()
    val data = XML().decodeFromString(MyTest.serializer(), content)
    println(data)
}

Here's an very basic example showing the same issue.

Since this question is about the kotlinx.serialization framework I suggest asking it in the #serialization channel.
