Lua Requires Chilkat v9.5.0.64+

XML EmitCompact

See more XML Examples

Demonstrates the XML EmitCompact property to generate XML that is not pretty-printed, but is instead compact with whitespace removed. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

local xml = chilkat.Xml.new()

xml.tag = "aaa"
xml:new_child2("red|green|blue", "sky")

-- Show the XML in normal indented (pretty-printed) format:
print(xml:get_xml())

-- The output:

--     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
--     <aaa>
--         <red>
--             <green>
--                 <blue>sky</blue>
--             </green>
--         </red>
--     </aaa>

-- Now set the EmitCompact property.
xml.emit_compact = true

-- Show the XML in compact form:
print(xml:get_xml())

-- The compact output:

--     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
--     <aaa><red><green><blue>sky</blue></green></red></aaa>
