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. Ruby

require 'chilkat'

success = false

xml = Chilkat::CkXml.new()

# If autoTrim is true, then the content inside an leaf element is trimmed.
# For example:
autoTrim = true
xml.LoadXml2("<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>",autoTrim)
print xml.getXml() + "\n";

# 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() + "\n";

# 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.put_EmitCompact(true)
print xml.getXml() + "\n";

# 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.put_EmitCompact(true)
print xml.getXml() + "\n";

# Output is:

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