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. Dart

import 'package:chilkat/chilkat.dart';

void main() {
  final xml = CkXml();

  // If autoTrim is true, then the content inside an leaf element is trimmed.
  // For example:
  var autoTrim = true;
  xml.loadXml2('<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>', autoTrim);
  print(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);
  print(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;
  print(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;
  print(xml.getXml());

  // Output is:

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