Striping whitespace (e.g. not respecting xml:space="preserve")

[mririgoyen]

jxon is stripping white space from XML content, especially ones explicitly with the xml:space="preserve" attribute when going from stringToJs.

Example:

<w:r>
  <w:t>Reactful</w:t>
</w:r>
<w:r>
  <w:t xml:space="preserve"> Word</w:t>
</w:r>

"w:r": [
  {
    "w:t": "Reactful"
  },
  {
    "w:t": {
      "$xml:space": "preserve",
      "_": "Word"
    }
  }
]

Notice the space before "Word" being stripped.

The offending code is in jxon.js, line 138. Removing the .trim() resolves this issue. Would it be possible to have this fixed?

Any update on this ? can it configured to preserve space or not ?
