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. Visual FoxPro

LOCAL lnSuccess
LOCAL loXml
LOCAL lnAutoTrim

lnSuccess = 0

loXml = CreateObject('Chilkat.Xml')

*  If autoTrim is 1, then the content inside an leaf element is trimmed.
*  For example:
lnAutoTrim = 1
loXml.LoadXml2("<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>",lnAutoTrim)
? loXml.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 0, then the content inside leaf elements are not trimmed.
lnAutoTrim = 0
loXml.LoadXml2("<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>",lnAutoTrim)
? loXml.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:
lnAutoTrim = 1
loXml.LoadXml2("<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>",lnAutoTrim)
loXml.EmitCompact = 1
? loXml.GetXml()

*  Output is:

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

*  No Auto-trim + emit compact:
lnAutoTrim = 0
loXml.LoadXml2("<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>",lnAutoTrim)
loXml.EmitCompact = 1
? loXml.GetXml()

*  Output is:

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