Interface ProcessingInstruction

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable, Node

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractProcessingInstruction, DefaultProcessingInstruction, DOMProcessingInstruction, FlyweightProcessingInstruction

public interface ProcessingInstruction
extends Node

ProcessingInstruction defines an XML processing instruction. The Node.getName()method will return the target of the PI and the Node.getText()method will return the data from all of the instructions.

DOCUMENT ME!

Specified by:

getText in interface Node

Returns:

the text for all the data associated with the processing instruction

getValue
