Name
ProcessingInstruction
Synopsis
This interface represents an XML processing
instruction (or PI) which specifies an arbitrary string of data to a
named target processor. The getTarget( )
and
getData( )
methods return the target and data
portions of a PI, and these values can also be obtained using the
getNodeName( )
and getNodeValue(
)
methods of the Node
interface. You can
alter the data portion of a PI with setData( )
or
with the setNodeValue( )
method of
Node
. ProcessingInstruction
nodes never have children.
