Interface CDATASection
- public interface CDATASection
- extends Text
CDATA sections are used to escape blocks of text containing
characters that would otherwise be regarded as markup. The only
delimiter that is recognized in a CDATA section is the "]]>" string
that ends the CDATA section. CDATA sections can not be
nested. The primary purpose is for including
material such as XML fragments, without needing to escape all
the delimiters.
The data
attribute of the
Text
node holds the text that is contained by the CDATA
section. Note that this may contain characters
that need to be escaped outside of CDATA sections and that, depending on
the character encoding ("charset") chosen for serialization, it may be
impossible to write out some characters as part of a CDATA section.
The CDATASection
interface inherits the
CharacterData
interface through the Text
interface. Adjacent CDATASections
nodes are not merged by
use of the Element.normalize() method.
