If XML is really not earning its keep switch to json or similar that
preserves nesting: 110
{Layer1:{mnsi:'538008302,244060802,538008505'},Layer2:{mnsi:'22,44'},Layer3:{csvInput:'acv,rrp;1,0;0,7;22,1'}}
Even adding quotes: 122
{'Layer1':{'mnsi':'538008302,244060802,538008505'},'Layer2':{'mnsi':'22,44'},'Layer3':{'csvInput':'acv,rrp;1,0;0,7;22,1'}}
Or if you love XML treat it like the maven properties (not able to validate
but succinct): 152
<Layer1><mnsi>538008302,244060802,538008505</mnsi></Layer1><Layer2><mnsi>22,44</mnsi></Layer1><Layer3><csvInput>acv,rrp;1,0;0,7;22,1</csvInput></Layer3>
