use quick_xml::events::Event; use quick_xml::reader::Reader; fn main() { let mut reader = Reader::from_str(" <a/>"); reader.config_mut().trim_text_end = true; loop { match reader.read_event() { Ok(Event::Eof) => break, Ok(e) => println!("{:?}", e), Err(e) => { println!("Error: {:?}", e); break; } } } } Output: Text(BytesText { content: Borrowed("") }) Empty(BytesStart { buf: Borrowed("a"), name_len: 1 }) Config::trim_text_end's documentation says: "When set to true, trailing whitespace is trimmed in Text events. If after that the event is empty it will not be pushed." Here the leading space is whitespace-only text preceding <a/>, and trim_text_end is set, but the reader still emits a Text("") event before the Empty event. (#755 fixed a related all-space-trimming case in 0.33.0; this leading-space-before-a-self-closing-tag case still reproduces.) Tested on quick-xml 0.41.0.

Thoughts on automatic loop detection? (note from previous PR) Also I've noticed that some implementations detect an entity loop immediately instead of processing until the recursion limit is reached. Should that be two separate errors in your opinion, or one error? Obviously it would not need to be added in this PR. Just, as a general concept, should an issue be filed for it Originally posted by @dralley in #943 (comment) The problem, is that loop detection should be applied to any entity expansion, and so should be highly coupled with the EntityResolver trait.
