Is that possible to verify xml response of REST service in katalon studio? If not can we convert xml response into json response and verify? Please give me some suggestions for the same. If possible, please share some piece of code.

Yes, you can. Please refer to the following steps:  
1. Download JSON jar from this page: [http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.json/json/20140107](http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.json/json/20140107)  
2. Import .jar file into your project: [https://docs.katalon.com/display/KD/External+Libraries](https://docs.katalon.com/display/KD/External+Libraries)  
3. Adjust your test case using conversion script to convert XML to JSON. Below is sample script where ‘xmlJSONObj.toString(textIndent)’ is the final result after conversion.

import static com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.ObjectRepository.findTestObject  
import org.json.JSONObject as JSONObject  
import org.json.XML as XML  
import com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.ResponseObject  
import com.kms.katalon.core.webservice.keyword.WSBuiltInKeywords as WS

ResponseObject response = WS.sendRequest(findTestObject(‘REST\_CommentDetails’))  
int textIndent = 2  
JSONObject xmlJSONObj = XML.toJSONObject(response.getResponseBodyContent())  
xmlJSONObj.toString(textIndent)

Thanks
