Regex example to remove spaces between tags (html, xml, etc.)

tag-space-remover.js

// For regex testing https://regex101.com/r/dOjkeJ/2

let myStr = `<something>  
  <xml-like>
    <example><p>with   lots  of   spaces</p></example> 
    and \n characters
  <xml-like>
</something>`;

// spaces:
myStr.replace(new RegExp('\>[ ]+\<', 'g'), '><');

// matches "\n" "\t" and " " (space)
myStr.replace(new RegExp('\>[\s]+\<', 'g'), '><');

This one worked for me:
myStr.replace(new RegExp('>[ ]+<', 'g'), '><');

This one did not worked for me:
myStr.replace(new RegExp('>[\s]+<', 'g'), '><');

Right now, the one that works for \r,\n,\t is with double backward slashes as in:
content.replace(/\t|\r|\n|./g,"");

Thank you

Why are you so weird using strings to declare regexes (which require double escaping)?
myStr.replace(/>\s+</g, '><');

Bro, I don't even remember writing this. It's some snippet from 2017

Well, almost 8 years later and it put me on track to make something work so, thank you
