Interface CDATASection
- public abstract 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 DOMString 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.
