The only delimiter that is - * recognized in a CDATA section is the "]]>" string that ends the CDATA - * section. CDATA sections cannot be nested. Their primary purpose is for - * including material such as XML fragments, without needing to escape all - * the delimiters. - * <p>The <code>CharacterData.data</code> attribute holds the text that is - * contained by the CDATA section. Note that this <em>may</em> 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. - * <p>The <code>CDATASection</code> interface inherits from the - * <code>CharacterData</code> interface through the <code>Text</code> - * interface. Adjacent <code>CDATASection</code> nodes are not merged by use - * of the <code>normalize</code> method of the <code>Node</code> interface. - * <p> No lexical check is done on the content of a CDATA section and it is - * therefore possible to have the character sequence <code>"]]>"</code> - * in the content, which is illegal in a CDATA section per section 2.7 of [<a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-20040204'>XML 1.0</a>]. The - * presence of this character sequence must generate a fatal error during - * serialization or the cdata section must be splitted before the - * serialization (see also the parameter <code>"split-cdata-sections"</code> - * in the <code>DOMConfiguration</code> interface). - * <p ><b>Note:</b> Because no markup is recognized within a - * <code>CDATASection</code>, character numeric references cannot be used as - * an escape mechanism when serializing. Therefore, action needs to be taken - * when serializing a <code>CDATASection</code> with a character encoding - * where some of the contained characters cannot be represented. Failure to - * do so would not produce well-formed XML. - * <p ><b>Note:</b> One potential solution in the serialization process is to - * end the CDATA section before the character, output the character using a - * character reference or entity reference, and open a new CDATA section for - * any further characters in the text node. Note, however, that some code - * conversion libraries at the time of writing do not return an error or - * exception when a character is missing from the encoding, making the task - * of ensuring that data is not corrupted on serialization more difficult. - * <p>See also the <a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-DOM-Level-3-Core-20040407'>Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Core Specification</a>. - */ -public interface CDATASection extends Text { -} |
