Formatting XML

[Oliver Hirschi-2]

Hi

I have an XML generated with JDOM 1.1 and output it to a file
(pretty.xml) in PrettyFormat.
Now, I read the above file and output it with JDOM to another file
(raw.xml) in RawFormat:
----------------
SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder();
Document oDoc_Chart = builder.build("c:\\000\\pretty.xml");

XMLOutputter oXMLOutputter = new XMLOutputter();
Format oFormat = Format.getRawFormat();
oXMLOutputter.setFormat(oFormat);
FileOutputStream oFileOutputStream = new
FileOutputStream("c:\\000\\raw.xml");
OutputStreamWriter oOutputStreamWriter = new
OutputStreamWriter(oFileOutputStream, "UTF-8");
oXMLOutputter.output(oDoc_Chart, oOutputStreamWriter);
oOutputStreamWriter.close();
oFileOutputStream.close();
----------------

The new file (raw.xml) is still pretty-formated and NOT raw - Why???

Thanks & Regards,
Oliver Hirschi

Hi Oliver....

Raw format is intended to output the file in the same format as it was
imported.... so, if you raw format output a file that was pretty to
start with, it will be unchanged.

Perhaps you are looking for Format.getCompactFormat().

I just wrote a small test program, and ran it against a file that has an
uncommon format. I can confirm that getPrettyFormat() makes it pretty,
getRawFormat leaves u unchanged, and getCompactFormat makes it all on
one line....

Hi Rolf

I found the mistake:
There was a xml:space="preserve" attribute in the root-element...
After removing this it works well!

Thanks & Regards,
