HI.
To clarify: MarkLogic does not preserve your indentention, nor does it
guarantee that the document is the exact same upon return. Yes, the same
content, but normalized as in the return document is actually assembled for
you. Your document is ripped to bits and stored internally ina different
format.
As an example(query console):
Insert this:
<doc>
<line foo='bar' one="2">line 1</line>
<line>line2</line>
</doc>
The query it:
<doc>
<line foo="bar" one="2">line 1</line>
<line>line2</line>
</doc>
So, nice and pretty - but not actually 'preserved' from my input (notice
the indentation is more consistent and also note that the use of single
quotes was changed to double quotes).
The pretty return that you see is actually done in the query console code.
You can replicate this in your own code by setting the following:
declare option xdmp:output "indent=yes";
declare option xdmp:output "indent-untyped=yes";
