Description

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 cannot be nested. The primary purpose is for including material such as XML fragments, without needing to escape all the delimiters.


Note:The text contained by the CDATA section is stored in a text node. Note that this text can contain characters that need to be escaped outside CDATA sections.


Using the XML Classes

The cXmlDomDocument class is the starting point for most XML processing. Refer to the cXmlDomDocument class for more information about the XML Document Object Model (DOM) and using XML within DataFlex. Samples are provided in this section.
