StreamingMarkupBuilder Namespace problem

[Nelson, Erick]

This Code…


import groovy.xml.*



StreamingMarkupBuilder smb = new StreamingMarkupBuilder()

smb.encoding = 'UTF-8'



def doc = smb.bind {

    mkp.declareNamespace('':'http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9')

    urlset {

        url {

            loc(1)

            lastmod('2019-09-21')

            changefreq('daily')

            priority('1')

            one('b')

            two('a')

            three('c')

            four('d')

            five('e')

            six('f')

            seven('g')

        }

    }

}



println XmlUtil.serialize(doc)





Produces this xml …



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><urlset 
xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9";>

  <url>

    <loc>1</loc>

    <lastmod 
xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9";>2019-09-21</lastmod>

    <changefreq>daily</changefreq>

    <priority>1</priority>

    <one xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9";>b</one>

    <two>a</two>

    <three>c</three>

    <four xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9";>d</four>

    <five>e</five>

    <six>f</six>

    <seven xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9";>g</seven>

  </url>

</urlset>



But I was expecting …


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><urlset 
xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9";>

  <url>

    <loc>1</loc>

    <lastmod>2019-09-21</lastmod>

    <changefreq>daily</changefreq>

    <priority>1</priority>

    <one>b</one>

    <two>a</two>

    <three>c</three>

    <four>d</four>

    <five>e</five>

    <six>f</six>

    <seven>g</seven>

  </url>

</urlset>

Why am I getting all the extra xmlns attributes? Seems like every 3 nodes has 
the namespace.
