Agreed that the "string" type has whitespace preserved. But I don't think there is any "general" bug in this area.
I have done a very very simple test: Schema: <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";> <xs:element name="root" type="xs:string"/> </xs:schema> Instance (test.xml): <root> ABC </root> Code: XmlObject doc = XmlObject.Factory.parse(new File("test.xml")); p(doc.schemaType().toString()); p(doc.xmlText()); Output: D=root <root> ABC </root> So the spaces are in fact preserved. Maybe you are running into a weird edge-case or maybe there is some detail that you are missing, we would need more details to find out concretely what the problem is.
