The parser doesn't know which ones are relevant, and which ones are not,
unless you tell it. One of the ways is to define a DTD, and give "keys"
element-only content. Then turn off the include-ignorable-whitespace
feature.

Please respond to

Is there any way to get rid of those irrelevant children?
Thanks,
Rob

Hi Rob,
Aside from the wonderful discussion of what is ignorable whitespace and
what
is not that Sandy and Joe have provided, your five children are thus:
<keys>
<!-- child #1: newline / whitespace -->
<!-- child #2: --> <key name="foo">Blah</key>
<!-- child #3: newline / whitespace -->
<!-- child #4: --> <key -------/>
<!-- child #5: newline -->
</keys>
I think is the answer to an implied question: Where are the other three
children? (Parser says 5, I see 2...)

Subject: Question on Feature:
http://apache.org/xml/features/dom/include-ignorable-whitespace
The feature states the following:
The only way that the parser can determine if text is ignorable is by
reading the associated grammar and having a content model for the document.
When ignorable white space text nodes are included in the DOM tree, they
will be flagged as ignorable. The ignorable flag can be queried by calling
the TextImpl#isIgnorableWhitespace():boolean method. This feature is
relevant only when the grammar is DTD.
My question is what does the parser consider ingnorableWhitespace? My
question is prompted by the following:
Consider:
<keys>
<key name = "foo">Blah</key>
<key -------/>
<keys>
The parser is telling me that keys has 5 children, it looks like to be that
keys has 2 children.
Let me know.
Thanks,
Rob
