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. Xbase++

LOCAL nSuccess
LOCAL oXml
LOCAL nAutoTrim

nSuccess := 0

oXml := CreateObject("Chilkat.Xml")

//  If autoTrim is 1, then the content inside an leaf element is trimmed.
//  For example:
nAutoTrim := 1
oXml:LoadXml2("<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>", nAutoTrim)
? oXml: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.
nAutoTrim := 0
oXml:LoadXml2("<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>", nAutoTrim)
? oXml: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:
nAutoTrim := 1
oXml:LoadXml2("<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>", nAutoTrim)
oXml:EmitCompact := 1
? oXml:GetXml()

//  Output is:

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

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

//  Output is:

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