This class provides helper methods and constants for handling whitespace

Field Summary
static int	ALL
static int	COLLAPSE
static int	IGNORABLE
static int	NONE The values NONE, IGNORABLE, and ALL identify which kinds of whitespace text node should be stripped when building a source tree
static int	PRESERVE The values PRESERVE, REPLACE, and COLLAPSE represent the three options for whitespace normalization.
static int	REPLACE
static int	UNSPECIFIED

Method Summary
static CharSequence	applyWhitespaceNormalization(int action, CharSequence value) Apply schema-defined whitespace normalization to a string
static boolean	containsWhitespace(CharSequence value) Determine if a string contains any whitespace
static boolean	isWhite(CharSequence content) Determine if a string is all-whitespace
static boolean	isWhitespace(int ch) Test whether a character is whitespace
static CharSequence	removeAllWhitespace(CharSequence value) Remove all whitespace characters from a string

Field Detail

NONE

public static final int NONE

The values NONE, IGNORABLE, and ALL identify which kinds of whitespace text node should be stripped when building a source tree

The values PRESERVE, REPLACE, and COLLAPSE represent the three options for whitespace normalization. They are deliberately chosen in ascending strength order; given a number of whitespace facets, only the strongest needs to be carried out.
