Add logic in the main application class and execute the code.

package org.example;

import lombok.SneakyThrows;
import lombok.extern.slf4j.Slf4j;
import org.springframework.core.io.DefaultResourceLoader;
import org.springframework.util.FileCopyUtils;

import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets;

@Slf4j
public class Application {

    private static final String SUB_DIRECTORY = "mocks";
    private static final String XML_FILENAME = "SampleXmlResponse.xml";
    private static final String JSON_FILENAME = "SampleJsonResponse.json";

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        log.info("Mock XML Response:\n{}", getMockResponse(XML_FILENAME));
        log.info("Mock JSON Response:\n{}", getMockResponse(JSON_FILENAME));
    }

    @SneakyThrows
    public static String getMockResponse(String fileName) {
        var resourceLoader = new DefaultResourceLoader();
        var resource = resourceLoader.getResource(String.format("classpath:%s/%s", SUB_DIRECTORY, fileName));
        return FileCopyUtils.copyToString(new InputStreamReader(resource.getInputStream(), StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
    }
}
