    //  The XML digital signature verification class provides utility methods for
    //  XML canonicalization.  This example demonstrates how to do inclusive XML canonicalization.

    var http = new chilkat.Http();
    var sbXml = new chilkat.StringBuilder();
    var canon = new chilkat.XmlDSig();

    //  Use inclusive XML canonicalization.
    var canonVersion = "C14N";
    var withComments = false;

    var url = "https://www.chilkatsoft.com/exampleData/c14n/test7.xml";
    success = http.QuickGetSb(url,sbXml);

    //  This is the input XML:
    //  The XML comment is referring to when exclusive XML canonicalization is applied.  With inclusive canonicalization, the namespace nodes
    //  are kept, as we'll see below..

    //  <doc>
    //  <!-- A namespace node N is ignored if the nearest ancestor element of the node's parent element that is in the node-set has a namespace node in the node-set with the same local name and value as N. -->
    //  	<animal xmlns:aa="https://www.animal.com/">
    //  		<reptile xmlns:bb="https://www.reptile.com/">
    //    			<lizard xmlns="" type="african fat tailed" abc="xyz" xmlns:aa="https://www.animal.com/" />
    //    			<snake type="poisonous rattler" xmlns:bb="https://www.reptile.com/" >
    //    			</snake>
    //    		</reptile>
    //    	</animal>
    //  </doc>

    var xmlInclCanon = canon.CanonicalizeXml(sbXml.GetAsString(),canonVersion,withComments);
    console.log(xmlInclCanon);

    //  The C14N (inclusive) canonicalization is:

    //  <doc>
    //  
    //  	<animal xmlns:aa="https://www.animal.com/">
    //  		<reptile xmlns:bb="https://www.reptile.com/">
    //    			<lizard abc="xyz" type="african fat tailed"></lizard>
    //    			<snake type="poisonous rattler">
    //    			</snake>
    //    		</reptile>
    //    	</animal>
    //  </doc>

    //  To see the difference, let's do exclusive canonicalization..
    canonVersion = "EXCL_C14N";

    var xmlExclCanon = canon.CanonicalizeXml(sbXml.GetAsString(),canonVersion,withComments);
    console.log(xmlExclCanon);

    //  // The C14N (exclusive) canonicalization is:
    //  
    //  <doc>
    //  
    //  	<animal>
    //  		<reptile>
    //    			<lizard abc="xyz" type="african fat tailed"></lizard>
