Paul King updated GROOVY-5360:
------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 3.x)
> XmlParser and XmlSlurper strip whitespace text by default
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GROOVY-5360
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-5360
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: XML Processing
> Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-2
> Reporter: Dr. Russel Winder
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently both XmlParser and XmlSlurper elide text that is only whitespace.
> Surely it is for the application and not the parser to determine what to do
> with whitespace that is not inside an opening or closing tag. Both classes
> allow for changing the behaviour programatically. I argue that the current
> default in not consistent with generally expected behaviour and so should be
> changed. Clearly this is a breaking change and so should not happen in the
> 1.8.x series. The 2.0.x series should take the opportunity to make this
> change.
