> What is the way to configure the parser the SAXReader to ignore whitespace
There doesn't appear to be a standard way of doing this via SAX and JAXP -
ignorable whitespace seems to be a DOM thing.
By default a SAX parser may call the ignorableWhitespace() method on
SAXContentHandler - which does nothing. So by default SAXReader should be
ignoring whitespace (provided the underlying XML parser can notice ignorable
whitespace).
AFAIK being able to notice whitespace or not requires a DTD or Schema aware
XML parser and for validation to be turned on. I think 'ignorable
whitespace' is whitespace between 'element content'. The only way a parser
can know when it is inside an 'element content' section of the document is
via a DTD or Schema.
