Re: [Vtd-xml-users] Suggestion in Removing the spaces after Removing the Element

[<al...@sa...>]

We assumed vtd-xml was just a fast XML parser, so we used other tools/apis to format the XML and control whitespaces.

We take the bytes from vtdnav.getXML().getBytes() and pass them to a stream to be
used with javax.xml.transform.Transformer. 
The Transformer allows you to set properties to control indentation and
effectively takes out the whitespace you see with vtd-xml.
It also handles adding newlines, whether they are in the source XML or not. 
This keeps the formatted xml from being one long line.

We use vtd-xml to create and parse XML for applications and processes. Its the best tool for the job.
We use javax.xml classes to format XML for people and documentation.

Regards,
Al G
