Interface ProcessingInstruction

All Known Implementing Classes:
  ProcessingInstructionImpl

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.

See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Core Specification.

Fields inherited from interface org.w3c.dom.Node
`ATTRIBUTE_NODE, CDATA_SECTION_NODE, COMMENT_NODE, DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT_NODE, DOCUMENT_NODE, DOCUMENT_TYPE_NODE, ELEMENT_NODE, ENTITY_NODE, ENTITY_REFERENCE_NODE, NOTATION_NODE, PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION_NODE, TEXT_NODE`

Method Summary
`java.lang.String` | `getData()` The content of this processing instruction.
`java.lang.String` | `getTarget()` The target of this processing instruction.
`void` | `setData(java.lang.String data)`

Methods inherited from interface org.w3c.dom.Node
`appendChild, cloneNode, getAttributes, getChildNodes, getFirstChild, getLastChild, getLocalName, getNamespaceURI, getNextSibling, getNodeName, getNodeType, getNodeValue, getOwnerDocument, getParentNode, getPrefix, getPreviousSibling, hasAttributes, hasChildNodes, insertBefore, isSupported, normalize, removeChild, replaceChild, setNodeValue, setPrefix`

Method Detail

### getTarget

    public java.lang.String getTarget()

  The target of this processing instruction. XML defines this as being the first token following the markup that begins the processing instruction.

### getData

    public java.lang.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 `?>`.
  Throws:
    DOMException - NO_MODIFICATION_ALLOWED_ERR: Raised when the node is readonly.

### setData

    public void setData(java.lang.String data)
                 throws DOMException
