Scrub Xml

See more XML Examples

Demonstrates the Scrub method for some common XML cleaning needs.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.77 or greater.

Java

import com.chilkatsoft.*;

public class ChilkatExample {

  static {
    try {
        System.loadLibrary("chilkat");
    } catch (UnsatisfiedLinkError e) {
      System.err.println("Native code library failed to load.\n" + e);
      System.exit(1);
    }
  }

  public static void main(String argv[])
  {
    boolean success = false;

    //  The Scrub method has options for trimming whitespace from the ends of attributes and content,
    //  trimming inside whitespace, and for case conversion for tags and attribute names.

    //  Trimming inside whitespace is defined as replacing CR, LF, and tab chars with SPACE chars, and 
    //  removing extra SPACE chars so that at most one SPACE separates non-SPACE chars.

    //  For example, load the following XML:

    String s = "<xyz><td class=\" colHoldingPercent col7\" style=\"border-bottom-color: rgb(221, 221, 221);               border-image-outset: 0;  \"> abc\r\n123    456</td></xyz>";

    CkXml xml = new CkXml();
    success = xml.LoadXml(s);

    System.out.println(xml.getXml());

    //  The XML before scrubbing is:

    //  <xyz>
    //      <td class=" colHoldingPercent col7" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(221, 221, 221);               border-image-outset: 0;  ">abc
    //  123    456</td>
    //  </xyz>

    xml.Scrub("AttrTrimEnds,AttrTrimInside,ContentTrimEnds,ContentTrimInside");
    System.out.println(xml.getXml());

    //  The XML after scrubbing is:

    //  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    //  <xyz>
    //      <td class="colHoldingPercent col7" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); border-image-outset: 0;">abc 123 456</td>
    //  </xyz>
  }
