  32     Represents a node in an XML document. See wxXmlDocument.
  33
  34     Node has a name and may have content and attributes.
  35
  36     Most common node types are @c wxXML_TEXT_NODE (name and attributes are irrelevant)
  37     and @c wxXML_ELEMENT_NODE.
  38
  39     Example: in <tt>\<title\>hi\</title\></tt> there is an element with the name
  40     @c title and irrelevant content and one child of type @c wxXML_TEXT_NODE
  41     with @c hi as content.
  42
  43     If @c wxUSE_UNICODE is 0, all strings are encoded in the encoding given to
  44     wxXmlDocument::Load (default is UTF-8).

 477     @endcode
 478
 479     Note that if you want to preserve the original formatting of the loaded file
 480     including whitespaces and indentation, you need to turn off whitespace-only
 481     textnode removal and automatic indentation:
 482
 483     @code
 484     wxXmlDocument doc;
 485     doc.Load("myfile.xml", "UTF-8", wxXMLDOC_KEEP_WHITESPACE_NODES);
 486
 487     // myfile2.xml will be indentic to myfile.xml saving it this way:
 488     doc.Save("myfile2.xml", wxXML_NO_INDENTATION);
 489     @endcode
 490
 491     Using default parameters, you will get a reformatted document which in general
 492     is different from the original loaded content:
 493
 494     @code
 495     wxXmlDocument doc;
 496     doc.Load("myfile.xml");
 497     doc.Save("myfile2.xml");  // myfile2.xml != myfile.xml
 498     @endcode
 499

 501     @category{xml}
