I am looking for a good approach that can remove empty tags from XML efficiently. What do you recommend? Regex? XDocument? XmlTextReader?
For example,
const string original =
@"<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""utf-16""?>
<pet>
<cat>Tom</cat>
<pig />
<dog>Puppy</dog>
<snake></snake>
<elephant>
<africanElephant></africanElephant>
<asianElephant>Biggy</asianElephant>
</elephant>
<tiger>
<tigerWoods></tigerWoods>
<americanTiger></americanTiger>
</tiger>
</pet>";
Could become:
const string expected =
@"<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""utf-16""?>
<pet>
<cat>Tom</cat>
<dog>Puppy</dog>
<elephant>
<asianElephant>Biggy</asianElephant>
</elephant>
</pet>";
