xml » minify(xml,var)

Description

This command parse xml into a minified version of the same, and stored the compressed content as var. Logically and structurally speaking the content of var should be the same as that of xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<test>
  <first>level 1</first>
  <second>
    <inner>level 2</inner>
  </second>
  <third>
      <inner>level 3</inner>
  </third>
</test>

This command will compress all the empty spaces and line separators such as:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<test><first>level 1</first><second><inner>level 2</inner></second><third><inner>level 3</inner></third></test>

Note:- If XML prolog is missing, it will add default XML prolog as <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
