Chilkat2 Java

import com.chilkatsoft.chilkat2.Xml;

public class ChilkatExample {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // 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>";

        Xml xml = new Xml();
        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>
