[XOM-interest] [SPAM(hdr)] - Using Serializer with Indenting (without alteringAttribute values)

[Jens Kripl]

Hi all,

However if you tell XOM to change the white space by indenting, then
yes, it will change the white space. If you don't want XOM to change
the white space, don't use indenting.

Understood. But when people end up using DOM (or javax.xml.Transformer
like me) for indenting, maybe something with the behavior is not
perfect.

So you asked for a test, here it is (hope that's the right for to
submit it):

(just add this test to "nu.xom.tests.SerializerTest")

public void testAttributeWithIndenting() throws IOException {

root.addAttribute(new Attribute("Name", "Hello Name"));
root.appendChild(new Element("sameline"));
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
Serializer serializer = new Serializer(out, "UTF-8");
serializer.setIndent(4);
serializer.write(doc);
String result = out.toString("UTF-8");
assertEquals("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\r\n"
+ "<root Name=\"Hello Name\">\r\n"
+ " <sameline/>\r\n"
+ "</root>\r\n", result);
}

Regards,
Jens

Certiainly there never use to be. I ended up transforming the XOM to
DOM.

Hi,
I'm using the Serializer to pretty print my XOM constructed XML.
I've read the javadoc and some comments on the list that it may change
Before : <foo name="Abc CdeF" />
After : <foo name="Abc CdeF" />
Expected: <foo name="Abc CdeF" />
Is there any way to change this behaviour? The value of the attribute
should not be changed, but elements should be indented.
Regards,
Jens

Is there any way to change this behaviour? The value of the
attribute should not be changed, but elements should be indented.

there are several things that could be happening here. Do you have a
test case?
However if you tell XOM to change the white space by indenting, then
yes, it will change the white space. If you don't want XOM to change
the white space, don't use indenting.

Thanks. Your test confirms what I expected. This is working as
intended. If you want different behavior you need to write a different
serializer that uses a different algorithm.
