XML::Filter::DetectWS Description

A PerlSAX filter that detects ignorable whitespace XML::Filter::DetectWS is a PerlSAX filter that detects which character data contains ignorable whitespace and optionally filters it.Note that this is just a first stab at the implementation and it may change completely in the near future. Please provide feedback whether you like it or not, so I know whether I should change it.The XML spec defines ignorable whitespace as the character data found in elements that were defined in an declaration with a model of 'EMPTY' or 'Children' (Children is the rule that does not contain '#PCDATA'.)In addition, XML::Filter::DetectWS allows the user to define other whitespace to be ignorable. The ignorable whitespace is passed to the PerlSAX Handler with the ignorable_whitespace handler, provided that the Handler implements this method. (Otherwise it is passed to the characters handler.) If the SkipIgnorableWS is set, the ignorable whitespace is simply discarded.XML::Filter::DetectWS also takes xml:space attributes into account. See below for details.CDATA sections are passed in the standard PerlSAX way (i.e. with surrounding start_cdata and end_cdata events), unless the Handler does not implement these methods. In that case, the CDATA section is simply passed to the characters method.SYNOPSIS use XML::Filter::DetectWS; my $detect = new XML::Filter::DetectWS (Handler => $handler, SkipIgnorableWS => 1); Requirements: · Perl
