These things can be looked up.  From RFC 7159 
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7159):

    Insignificant whitespace is allowed before or after any of the six
    structural characters.

       ws = *(
               %x20 /              ; Space
               %x09 /              ; Horizontal tab
               %x0A /              ; Line feed or New line
               %x0D )              ; Carriage return
