Interface ProcessingInstruction

All Superinterfaces:
Node
Known Implementing Classes:
DomPI
public interface ProcessingInstruction
extends Node
The ProcessingInstruction interface represents a "processing instruction", used in XML as a way to keep processor-specific information in the text of the document.

No lexical check is done on the content of a processing instruction and it is therefore possible to have the character sequence "?>" in the content, which is illegal a processing instruction per section 2.6 of [XML 1.0]. The presence of this character sequence must generate a fatal error during serialization.

See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Core Specification.

Method Details

getData

public String getData()
The content of this processing instruction. This is from the first non white space character after the target to the character immediately preceding the ?>.

getTarget

public String getTarget()
The target of this processing instruction. XML defines this as being the first token following the markup that begins the processing instruction.

setData

public void setData(String data)
            throws DOMException
