XmlParser trim whitespace by default

I just found out that groovy.util.XmlParser trims whitespace by default. When parsing XML files with text nodes that contain trailing whitespace, for example, whitespace is removed in the Node returned by the parser.

def parser = new XmlParser()
def doc = parser.parseText("ABC ")
assert doc.data.text() == "ABC" // Not "ABC "!

To preserve whitespace, set the trimWhitespace property to false:

def parser = new XmlParser(trimWhitespace: false)
def doc = parser.parseText("ABC ")
assert doc.data.text() == "ABC "
