          public DOMCategory()

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### isGlobalTrimWhitespace

          public static boolean isGlobalTrimWhitespace()

      Returns:
        true if text elements are trimmed before returning; default false

    - #### setGlobalTrimWhitespace

          public static void setGlobalTrimWhitespace(boolean trimWhitespace)

      Whether text content is trimmed (removing leading and trailing whitespace); default false. WARNING: this is a global setting. Altering it will affect all DOMCategory usage within the current Java process. It is not recommended that this is altered; instead call the trim() method on the returned text, but the flag is available to support legacy Groovy behavior.
      Parameters:
        `trimWhitespace` - the new value

    - #### isGlobalKeepIgnorableWhitespace

          public static boolean isGlobalKeepIgnorableWhitespace()

      Returns:
        true if ignorable whitespace (e.g. whitespace between elements) is kept; default false

    - #### setGlobalKeepIgnorableWhitespace

          public static void setGlobalKeepIgnorableWhitespace(boolean keepIgnorableWhitespace)

      Whether ignorable whitespace (e.g. whitespace between elements) is kept (default false). WARNING: this is a global setting. Altering it will affect all DOMCategory usage within the current Java process.
      Parameters:
        `keepIgnorableWhitespace` - the new value
