Trimmed Manifest Parser

Convert an inbound shipment manifest expressed as XML into a clean JSON object that relies on whitespace trimming and non-reversible text node collapsing.

Capabilities

Cleans header fields

• Given <report><status> ok </status><message>\n Ready for dispatch </message></report>, return { status: "ok", message: "Ready for dispatch" } when requested as an object, trimming surrounding whitespace and avoiding text-node wrappers. @test

Collapses text nodes for repeated entries

• For <report><package id="A1"> Fragile </package><package id="B2">\nHeavy\n</package></report>, return { packages: [{ id: "A1", note: "Fragile" }, { id: "B2", note: "Heavy" }] } with text values as plain strings (no $t or similar). @test

Ignores indent-only text nodes

• When the XML includes indentation-only whitespace between elements (e.g., <report>\n <status> ok </status>\n <package id="X"> Packed </package>\n</report>), ignore those whitespace-only nodes and emit trimmed text only for elements carrying content. @test
