Hi all, hi Christian I want to serialize my xml-documents to jsonml like so:
json:serialize(doc('bettelweib.xml')//*:body, map { 'format': 'jsonml' })
Inside the jsonml are lots of strings with unnecessary whitespace like: "Das Bettelweib von\n Locarno." How could I remove that whitespace and also \n during or after the serialization? Thanks for any help. Regards, Günter

Hi Günter, Did you try fn:normalize-space? Greetings from Prague, Christian

Hi Christian, when I'm doing json:serialize(fn:normalize-space(doc('bettelweib.xml')//*:body), map { 'format': 'jsonml' }) I get JSON serializer: Atomic values cannot be serialized Greetings from Hamburg, Günter

Simply calling fn:normalize-space(...) won’t be enough, as it will always return a string. To give you better help, I’d be pleased if you could provide us a little self-contained example. Maybe it’s not necessary if you have a closer look at the following example: _______________________
let $body := <body>Das Bettelweib von
                    Locarno.</body>
let $updated-body := $body update (
  for $text in .//text()
  return replace value of node $text with normalize-space($text)
)
return json:serialize($updated-body, map { 'format': 'jsonml' })
_______________________
Cheers, Christian

In my context that code helped a lot:
for $text in .//text()
return replace value of node $text with normalize-space($text)
Thx, Günter
