dom - Javascript created xml document formatting of empty elements -

is possible control how xml document rendered xmlserializer when using own namespace? namely, when creating document this:

root = document.implementation.createdocument('hello-world', 'something', null); s = new xmlserializer(); console.log(s.serializetostring(root));

the resulting xml serializetostring is

<something xmlns="hello-world"/>

is there way change formatting such output instead

<something xmlns="hello-world"></something>

it worked me add empty text node:

root.documentelement.appendchild(root.createtextnode(""));

with line included, output

<?xml version="1.0"?><something xmlns="hello-world"></something>
