Description

I am looking for a way to provide a default value for empty tags, to override the default of empty string. Similar to issue #630

ETA: #619 may also be related.

Empty tags are not processed through the tagValueProcessor (which makes sense as there is no value to process) but then the value is always an empty string, and there is no way I am aware of, to transpose the value.

The use case is for a data set that sends flags down as an empty tag. ie.

<thisIsAFlag /> 

// would be parsed as 
{ thisIsAFlag: true }

// instead of 
{ thisIsAFlag:'' }

There are multiple possibilities. Hence, I've come up with a common solution in v5. Development of parser was completed few months back. But I'm not getting time to finish UTs and complete the changes in Builder. So please wait for the next release
