                    <item name="value" xsi:type="string">csv</item>
                    <item name="label" xsi:type="string" translate="true">CSV</item>

 * See COPYING.txt for license details.
 */
namespace Vendor\Module\Component;

/**
 * Class ExportButton
 */
class ExportButton extends \Magento\Ui\Component\ExportButton
{
    /**
     * @return void
     */
    public function prepare()
    {
        $context = $this->getContext();
        $config = $this->getData('config');
        if (isset($config['options'])) {
            $options = [];
            foreach ($config['options'] as $option) {
                /*Removed xml from here*/
                if($option['value'] != 'xml'){
                    $additionalParams = $this->getAdditionalParams($config, $context);
                    $option['url'] = $this->urlBuilder->getUrl($option['url'], $additionalParams);
                    $options[] = $option;
                }
            }
            $config['options'] = $options;
            $this->setData('config', $config);
        }
        parent::prepare();
