Self-closing tag is a non-text node whereas empty tag is a text node about fast-xml-parser HOT 3 CLOSED

To parse the attributes in the first case you need to specify ignoreNonTextAttr: false and for the second case ignoreTextAttr:false. Also, the second tag will have a #text field and the first one won’t. I think this behaviour doesn’t match the XML spec <https://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-starttags>, as the two should be equivalent: Empty-element tags may be used for any element which has no content, whether or not it is declared using the keyword EMPTY. For interoperability, the empty-element tag SHOULD be used, and SHOULD only be used, for elements which are declared EMPTY. Examples of empty elements: <IMG align="left" src="http://www.w3.org/Icons/WWW/w3c_home" /> <br></br> <br/> — You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
