Hi James, I'll update the results on my web site, at least. I'll forward separately a couple of emails from the JDOM list discussing how XMLS could be made the normal serialization method while still allowing people to use default serialization if they want (useful if they're associating extra information with the document components and aren't too concerned about performance).
I think the whitespace option I mention at the end of the dW article is something to consider, too. The idea here is to allow applications to discard isolated whitespace (whitespace that's not embedded in non-whitespace) as the document is parsed. For middleware applications this type of whitespace is only there to make the documents readable and is ignored by the application. Electric XML has been discarding it all along, apparently without anyone noticing before. That's not a good approach, since it breaks handling of some types of documents (and violates the XML recommendation). Making this an option under the application's control seems a good alternative. It'd be even better if it could be implemented in the parser rather than the document model. - Dennis James Strachan wrote: > Hi Dennis > > Great article!
