Hi Rajesh,

XML is read, the string gets parsed into a DOM structure.

When the XML is written, the string representation will be created from 
the DOM.

Although you can have empty elements in XML like <X></X> the more 
compact way to represent this is with <X/> (which means an X element 
with no content).

So the XML is changing because the XML written is generated fresh from 
the data structures from the DOM, which does not use the string 
representation expect when outputing XML.


HTH,



Craig
