------------------------------------
Assignee: Josh Adams
> CLI XML text output incorrect with empty complex elements.
> ----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DAFFODIL-2064
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-2064
> Project: Daffodil
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: CLI
> Reporter: Steve Lawrence
> Assignee: Josh Adams
> Priority: Major
>
> Imagine we have a schema with a compex element that has all optional children
> and data where the none of the children exist. Or a similar case where all
> the children of a complex element are hidden. In such cases, the
> XMLTextInfosetOutputter will output something like this:
> {code:xml}
> <root>
> <complex_with_no_children>
> </complex_with_no_children>
> </root>
> {code}
> To a non-schema aware XML parser, complex_with_no_children will look like a
> simple type with whitespace content instead of an empty complex type, which
> can cause problems.
> Instead, the XMLTextInfosetOutputter should detect when a complex element
> will not have any text output (i.e. no children, or all children are hidden),
> and instead output an element with no content , so the above should look more
> like:
> {code:xml}
> <root>
> <complex_with_no_children />
> </rot>
> {code}
