Auto-Trim XML Content when Loading

See more XML Examples

This example explains the "autoTrim" argument that is passed to a method such as LoadXml2. C#

bool success = false;

Chilkat.Xml xml = new Chilkat.Xml();

//  If autoTrim is true, then the content inside an leaf element is trimmed.
//  For example:
bool autoTrim = true;
xml.LoadXml2("<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>",autoTrim);
Debug.WriteLine(xml.GetXml());

//  Output is:
//  (notice the SPACE chars before and after "xyz" are trimmed)

//  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
//  <abc>
//      <xyz>123</xyz>
//  </abc>

//  If autoTrim is false, then the content inside leaf elements are not trimmed.
autoTrim = false;
xml.LoadXml2("<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>",autoTrim);
Debug.WriteLine(xml.GetXml());

//  Output is:

//  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
//  <abc>
//      <xyz>  123   </xyz>
//  </abc>

//  --------------------------------------------------------------------
//  The EmitCompact property controls whether XML is emitted indented (pretty-printed)
//  or compact.  For example:

//  Auto-trim + emit compact:
autoTrim = true;
xml.LoadXml2("<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>",autoTrim);
xml.EmitCompact = true;
Debug.WriteLine(xml.GetXml());

//  Output is:

//  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
//  <abc><xyz>123</xyz></abc>

//  No Auto-trim + emit compact:
autoTrim = false;
xml.LoadXml2("<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>",autoTrim);
xml.EmitCompact = true;
Debug.WriteLine(xml.GetXml());

//  Output is:

//  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
//  <abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>
