No, ignoreWhitespace would be for the internal parts of the text node as well, not just outside the tags.

Also default is true only. but this takes care of whitespace outside tags. example <Flex> <Name> JB </Name> </Flex> That flag will help parsing above xml with lot of whitespaces outside tags. but what i am looking for is how not to trim whitespaces inside the tags. I have value " JB" but its parsed as "JB". I need " JB" after parsing.
