Often whitespace-only data is not significant for the application, and the cost of allocating and storing such nodes (both memory and speed-wise) can be significant. For example, after parsing XML string `<node> <a/> </node>`, `<node>` element will have three children when `parse_ws_pcdata` is set (child with type [link node_pcdata] and value `" "`, child with type [link node_element] and name `"a"`, and another child with type [link node_pcdata] and value `" "`), and only one child when `parse_ws_pcdata` is not set.

In some cases application needs to parse the whitespace-only contents of nodes, i.e. `<node> </node>`, but is not interested in whitespace markup elsewhere. It is possible to use [link parse_ws_pcdata] flag in this case, but it results in excessive allocations and complicates document processing in some cases; this flag is intended to avoid that. As an example, after parsing XML string `<node> <a> </a> </node>` with `parse_ws_pcdata_single` flag set, `<node>` element will have one child `<a>`, and `<a>` element will have one child with type [link node_pcdata] and value `" "`.
