Parser Functionality
How does DOMSerializer keep formatting instructions from the input XML.
Here is what my program does.
Parse an input string into 'document' then print the document with the
DOMSerializer class.
eg
why is the following XML printed "as is"
<root><child1>34</child1>
<child2>45</child2></root>
and not
<root>
<child1>34</child1>
<child2>45</child2>
</root>
or at least
<root><child1>34</child1><child2>45</child2></root>
does this mean that somewhere in the document object that there are
formatting instructions?

Posted by Evert Haasdijk <ev...@zukkespijkers.nl>.
The whitespace in the document is read and stored by the parser. The
DOMWriter simply writes everything (including whitespace) in the document.
To strip ignorable whitespace, set the parser's flag to exclude it with
DOMParser::setIncludeIgnorableWhitespace(false);
