If I use the BizTalk 2013 R2 JSON Encoder pipeline component to convert the following XML
<ns0:ASCIISchema xmlns:ns0="http://RestASCIICharTest.ASCIISchema"><TAB> </TAB><LF>
</LF><CR>
</CR><SPACE> </SPACE><ExtendedASCII255></ExtendedASCII255></ns0:ASCIISchema>
to JSON I get all null elements
{
"TAB": null,
"LF": null,
"CR": null,
"SPACE": null,
"ExtendedASCII255": null
}
I wanted to get TAB, LF, CR or a space not null. For a space I thought I should get
{"SPACE": ""}
My observation the JSON Encoder pipeline does not preserve whitespace if this is the only thing in the XML element. Does anyone know how get a space and not a null?
POSTSCRIPT
If I change all the elements to attributes I get a blank space.
{
"@TAB": "\t",
"@LF": "\n",
"@CR": "\r",
"@SPACE": " "
}
