Question

leading and trailing whitespace stripped from content of a text node when loading an XML file

Answer 1

+2 A:

I believe if you put it inside CDATA tags, you'll get the whitespace.

<Element><Property><![CDATA[ a ]]></Property></Element>

This would probably work but the syntax is ugly. The idea was to keep my xml simple

It may be a few extra characters in your code, but it'd save you from the bugs grapefrukt mentioned. It's also the standard solution for something like this. http://www.w3schools.com/XML/xml_cdata.asp

Answer 2

A:

XML.prettyPrinting = false

Should work just fine, this is what I use for this exact problem. But do note that this is a global setting and can result in new bugs in other places in your app.

Answer 3

A:

As described before, XML.prettyPrinting didn't work. Finally it got fix by adding XML.ignoreWhitespace = false;

After that line of code, the trailing spaces are not removed.
