Procedure ChilkatExample()

    success.i = 0

    xml.i = CkXml::ckCreate()
    If xml.i = 0
        Debug "Failed to create object."
        ProcedureReturn
    EndIf

    ; If autoTrim is 1, then the content inside an leaf element is trimmed.
    ; For example:
    autoTrim.i = 1
    CkXml::ckLoadXml2(xml,"<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>",autoTrim)
    Debug CkXml::ckGetXml(xml)

    ; 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.
    autoTrim = 0
    CkXml::ckLoadXml2(xml,"<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>",autoTrim)
    Debug CkXml::ckGetXml(xml)

    ; 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 = 1
    CkXml::ckLoadXml2(xml,"<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>",autoTrim)
    CkXml::setCkEmitCompact(xml, 1)
    Debug CkXml::ckGetXml(xml)

    ; Output is:

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

    ; No Auto-trim + emit compact:
    autoTrim = 0
    CkXml::ckLoadXml2(xml,"<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>",autoTrim)
    CkXml::setCkEmitCompact(xml, 1)
    Debug CkXml::ckGetXml(xml)

    ; Output is:

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