The `ignorableWhitespace` method in the `xml.sax.saxutils.XMLGenerator` class is used to handle ignorable whitespace characters in the XML document being parsed. These whitespace characters include spaces, tabs, and newlines that are not significant in determining the structure or content of the XML document.
When parsing an XML document with the `XMLGenerator`, the `ignorableWhitespace` method is called when such ignorable whitespace characters are encountered. This method allows you to define the desired behavior for handling these characters. By default, the method does nothing, but you can override it to perform custom actions, such as skipping or filtering the whitespace characters.
Overall, the `ignorableWhitespace` method provides flexibility in handling whitespace in XML parsing and allows for customization based on the specific requirements of your XML processing application.
