    I don't think its possible out of the box  . You can use a JavaScript step to convert the Json response to an XML response and then use the Graphical XML side by side assertion to compare the two.

    Provided that the xml tag nodes and the json structure is identical (identical meaning same objects...names..values), you can implement a common json-to-xml conversion in a filter (a custom filter) to set a new filter value for comparison to the target xml.

     

    Note that the exact structure may not be the same, as the common conversion apis, wrap the xml in a special tag scheme, but you can override it is needed.
